From: tp@jet.uk (Tarang K Patel) Subject: [Q] Installing LILO with MCC 0.97p2 to BOOT off my hard disk ? Date: 19 Oct 1992 16:32:15 GMT
Today, I tried to install LILO to my hard disk. Upto now, I use BOOTLIN with
IMAGE on my MS-DOS partition. Also I have previously installed LILO on floppy
and that works.
My configuration :
/dev/hda1 ------ MS DOS 5.0 52mb
/dev/hda2 ------ LINUX 42mb
/dev/hda3 ------ linux swap 8mb
--------------------------------------------
102 mb
I installed lilo as follows, having logged in as root
cd /etc
rdev Image /dev/hda2
cd lilo
./lilo -i boot.b -c -b /dev/hda -m map linux=/etc/Image \
msdos=/etc/lilo/chain.b+/dev/hda1@//dev/hda
I am informed :
Added linux
Added msdos
After which I logout and reboot. Upon reboot I hold <crtl> <alt> <shift>
and get the following :
Lilo:
I type ?, to which it replys
linux msdos
Now, I can boot to LINUX but when I try to boot MSDOS by typing
msdos
then I get
Non system disk .......
After a wait of 1 minute, lilo boots up LINUX
[Q] Where have I gone wrong ?
[Q] What does the line - rdev Image /dev/hda2 ----- really do ?
