First I would like to thank those responsible for Linux 0.97-pl5 and
GCC 2.2.2d. Everything installs and works better than most commercial
software I've used!
I'm trying to get LILO v5 to boot Linux off of my second SCSI disk.
The disk is partitioned as follows:
20mb primary - dos /dev/sdb2
80mb extended
22mb - root /dev/sdb5
8mb - swap /dev/sdb6
50mb - usr /dev/sbd7
I have a working kernel image in /. I tried following the LILO
instuctions to install the loader on a floppy. I entered all of
the parition paramters in disktab as they appear when I boot the
kernel. I installed the loader onto a floppy:
lilo -b /dev/fd0 -i boot.b -v -v -v /vmunix
No errors. When I reboot, all I get is "LI" and then the system hangs.
I remember something about the "L" being from the primary loader and
the "I" from the second... Can anybody tell me what's wrong here?
Thanx!
-Chris
