I boot from boot floppy only, no lilo... and the boot floppy stratightaway loads the kernel without any lilo prompt...... and then gets stuck at Kernel Panic: No root file system. I do have debian rescue disk under the c: and I try to boot from there.... I get a console....but running lilo has no meaning here.... I am afraid its lost for ever... does NAV back up the partition table before repairing? Kundan
