If you use the boot floppy and go into the selection process, try pressing Alt-F2 and see if you get to a login prompt. If so, login, and give us the results of:
df -h
FileSystem Size Used Avail Use% on /dev/hdb1 14G 73M 13G 1%
Also, at this point, you should be able to run "nano /etc/lilo.conf" to
edit the lilo.conf file.
I was able to view the contents of lilo.conf. Here are the contents (minus the comments).
lba32 boot=/dev/hdb1 root=/dev/hdb1 install=/boot/boot-menu.b map=/boot/map delay=20 vga=normal default=Linux image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only image=/vmlinuz.old label=LinuxOLD read-only optional
Any thoughts on how to get this to work?
OK, that looks good. I don't have the history of this thread in front of me, but if I remember correctly, when you try booting off the hard drive without the rescue floppy, you get a bunch of numbers across the screen.
In that case, it looks like you may just need to rerun lilo to reinstall is in your mbr. Just run "lilo" and you should see a message like "Added Linux*". Then reboot ("shutdown -r now") and hopefully all will be well.
