[snip lilo.conf file]
Here is a workng example
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda # Device containing boot
sector
compact # faster, but won't work on
all systems.
prompt # Force boot prompt
map = /boot/map # Default = /boot/map
Default = Slink2.2.9 # Default = /boot/boot.<number>
Timeout = 250 # Wait <val>/10 sec. after
prompt then boot default
# End LILO global section
# Image sections
# Linux bootable partition config begins
# Slackware 3.3
# Share 5.1 Gig IDE Drive with Win95 (ugh)
#
Image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda3
label = slack33
VGA = 0xb
append = "lp=0x378,0 boot_verbose=1"
## Note: append line alows printer to be polled
## saving the IRQ for other, more inportant
# uses
Image = /boot/Slack2.2.3
root = /dev/hda3
label = S2.2.3
VGA = 0x317
append = "video=vesa:ypan,nopal lp=parport0 parport=0x378,none"
#
# Debian 2.0
Image = /boot/hamm-36
label = hamm-36
Root = /dev/hdb1
VGA = 0xb
append = "lp=0x378,0"
# Debian 2.1
#
Image = /boot/slink
label = Slink
Root = /dev/hdb2
VGA = 0xb
append = "lp=0x378,0"
Image = /boot/Slink-2.2.9
label = Slink2.2.9
Root = /dev/hdb2
VGA = 0x317
append = "hdd=cdrom lp=parport0 parport=0x378,none"
# Debian 2.1-1
#
Image = /boot/potato
label = Potato
Root = /dev/hdb10
VGA = 0xa
#
Image = /boot/memtest86
Label = Memtest
# Win95 Why waste the disk space??
#
Other = /dev/hda1
Label = win
Table = /dev/hda
# NOTE: ALL boot images copied to /boot on /dev/hda3 and all
# other distro's /boot.
# /etc/lilo.conf in all distro's is the same.
# This alows any distro to rebuild the MBR on hda.
# This is overkill but it works!
HTH, YMMV, HAND

Real Programmers don't write in PL/I. PL/I is for programmers who
can't decide whether to write in COBOL or FORTRAN.
