To boot from the hard drive you need to run LILO. My experience is that
the LILO that comes from the Yggdrasil distribution will not work, because
of some incompatibility with the run-time library. With some trouble I
got LILO to run from a second Linux installation on another partition,
from SLS, but this is of course not a recommended fix.
In fact, I am not very happy with the Yggdrasil CD. As a CD, it is
expensive to produce an update, and the Yggdrasil is patchlevel 5 or 7,
while the newest Linux version is pl 13. Probably we are better off
with a bigger hard disk and the newest version from SLS or downloaded
from the net. E.g., Yggdrasils linux does not recognize ext2 file systems.
