Hi,
I just successfully installed etch (now upgraded to sid) onto
a SATA drive /dev/sda. Now, though, I want to get my data off
of the old IDE drive. So, I stuck it in and powered up.
Unfortunately, but understandably, the box wants to boot off
of that drive /dev/hda.
So, I think that I can/should install a new Lilo onto the hda
and have it point to the SATA drive. Workable, right, since
that's how 2-drive dual-boot systems work?
Is changing the boot= param from /dev/sda to /dev/hda all
that is necessary? (Besides rerunning lilo, of course.)
Existing lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/sda ### <<<<<<<<<<<<
root=/dev/sda2
install=menu
prompt
delay=200
timeout=200
default=Debian-2.6.12
image=/vmlinuz
label=Debian-2.6.12
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12L
label=2.6.12L
read-only
root=/dev/sda2
Proposed new lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda ### <<<<<<<<<<<<
root=/dev/sda2
install=menu
prompt
delay=200
timeout=200
default=Debian-2.6.12
image=/vmlinuz
label=Debian-2.6.12
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12L
label=2.6.12L
read-only
root=/dev/sda2
TIA,
Ron
