So far I've got some improvement,
but I'm still stuck on the grub installation process. I followed the steps you listed
bellow, but on knoppix environment, instead of Debian Installation CD 2) orient yourself in the partitions
with fdisk -l /dev/hda 2) mount /dev/hda1 /mnt 3) chroot /mnt 4) grub-install On the 4th step, I ran grub-install
and got this error message Knoppix:/# grub-install /dev/hda /sbin/grub-install: line 1: sort:

installation, I skip to another terminal, alt+f2, and tried to orient myself
where and what are the partitions, but the hda device (the hard disk), is not
recognized, I tried to mount it up, but it says there are no such file or directory. Any clues, iuri From: Iuri Sampaio
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I've installed on my machine a dual boot system, one to debian and other windows . But I
reinstalled my windows OS and now I lost lilo boot loader and I can boot my
linux. Do you know
a way to get into my debian box? Then I am able to install lilo over again on
the master boot sector or even better to install it on a floppy disk? I need mount
my system up from the boot loader and install the lilo. Any clue? How do I
visualize the partitions are one my hard disk and their names. I tried to
get it through the CD Installation Boot. I ran the expert mode installation and
then the shell command. I ran cat/etc/fstab But I don't have the devices hda/
and its respectives partitions. I have only the CDRoom partitions and names. I need to figure out where is which
partition, for example something to return to me like a df –h on my hard disk
would do it.
hda3 primary / hda4
logical /boot hda5
logical /home hda6 logical /var
hda7 logical /swap Then I will be able from the boot installation cd, run a boot
command tom kernel on my hard disk at /. Something like: boot /boot/vmlinuz
