I'm installing Debian over what was formerly a Slackware partition (It's been reformatted, thank goodness) and I'm stumped as to how I'm supposed to get LILO to work with my dos partition. Right now, my /etc/lilo.conf is:
compact boot=/dev/hda1 vga=normal delay=20 image=/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hda2 read-only other=/dev/hda1 label=dos table=/dev/hda loader=/boot/any_d.b I've tried chain.b for the dos partition, and chain.b with all the extra junk in the 0.20 documentation (Is anyone working on updating the lilo deb file to 0.20?). Whever I attempt to boot the dos partition, I get a screen filled with repetitions of "01 ". Linux boots fine, and, using an dos boot disk, I can find the dos file system. Linux cannot find it; it says that it can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem. On a related note, WTF is that "1FA:" thingy that I got when I tried to reboot Debian for the first time? It didn't want to do anything. I eventually rebooted and ran lilo, after which it worked fine unless I held down shift early in the boot sequence (in which case I got the "1FA:" thing for a moment, and then it went into LILO). -- Kyle R.
