Ok I found that if I mount /mnt/redhat and run /sbin/lilo while mounted to /dev/hdb1 I get the error message that the lable for Redhat is too long so I made a directory /mnt/rh still get the error, xyf:/mnt/rh# /sbin/lilo Added slink * Label "vmlinuz-2.2.5-15" is too long I noticed there was a "vmlinuz" link to "vmlinuz-2.2.5-15" so I changed the line in lilo.conf to read "image=/mnt/rh/boot/vmlinuz" and got the following error, xyf:/mnt/rh/boot# /sbin/lilo Added slink * Added vmlinuz Syntax error near line 50 in file /etc/lilo.conf Arg.
