Recently, I repartioned my HD and got the 0.97 boot and root images.
I ran the install script and have the following partions:
/dev/hda1 # dos
/dev/hda2 # linux root
/dev/hda3 # linux usr
/dev/hda4 # linux swap
I have read the README file in lilo.b.4.tar.Z and am confused. As per
the instructions, I did the following:
./lilo -b /dev/fd0 -i boot.b -v -v -v /Image
If I reboot with the floppy, then the image on /dev/hda2 is loaded and
/dev/hda2 is the root device. That works.
I am confused about where to go from here. I would like lilo to be my
MBR and boot sector i.e. I want lilo to be the boot selector and boot
sector for linux. Basically replacing shoelace.
Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this? It would be a great help
if you could also explain the options I should be using?
thanks
andy
