I'm currently running two versions of Debian: bo & hamm. I boot hamm off of /dev/hda2 w/LILO. I boot bo off of /dev/hdb2 with a boot floppy. I created the boot floppy by first compiling a custom kernel, then running /sbin/lilo as root with the following /etc/lilo.conf file:
boot=/dev/fd0 root=/dev/hdb2 compact install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=0 image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only append="aha152x=0x340,10,7,1" ...you'll notice the boot entry is for the floppy drive. this means that all that is on my floppy is LILO. notice also the delay is 0, and the image points to /vmlinuz. this is the kernel. /vmlinuz seems to be pretty standard in naming the kernel. make sure, if you use this, that you copy your newly compiled kernel image to /vmlinuz before you run lilo. matty > I installed the base disks for the latest release of Debian.
