Ok I already changed the mbr back to windows default and reran lilo from
Slink and now I boot directly into Slink on startup. I'm not entirely
sure what your getting at here but I've reversed this and did,
"mkdir /mnt/redhat; mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/redhat"
After cding to /mnt/redhat I found directory /boot and inside is
"vmlinux-2.2.5-15." So if I get you correctly you are saying to put the
following in my lilo.conf,
image=/mnt/redhat/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
lable=redhat
root=/dev/hdb1
Now to make this all work after running lilo do I have to put something
like the following line in my /etc/fstab?
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/redhat ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Thanks,
