I have a / partition on /dev/sda1 and have also defined a /dev/sda2 partition in the first /dev/sda cylinders to ensure my kernels are always below the 1024cyl limit.
The /etc/lilo.conf I have working says: boot=/dev/sda1 root=/dev/sda1 if I try installing a lilo.conf with boot=/dev/sda2 as I would like the LILO process aborts after writing LIL- as the prompt. I guess I am missing the second stage LILO loader routine in this case. This is a Debian only box (as all should be ;->) and I would like to have the LILO loader on the HD boot record .... what should I try ???? Thank you. Bob Alexander
