Actually the prompt belongs to 'mbr'. According to the docs for 'mbr', the prompt shows up when there is keyboard activity or a problem loading the first sector of the default partition. > It means > press 1 to boot off the first partition This will work if lilo is installed on the first partition.

You should be able to access your root partition from the rescue floppy if mbr does not boot the linux partition. Take a look in /usr/doc/lilo for info on setting up lilo. Hope this helps. -- Paul Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED]
