Thanks to all for their email on this. I did tinker with LILO but
didn't get it to work (I followed the instructions in the Installation
manual). I might have missed something. Anyway I got it to work
yesterday (don't know how). All I did was read /etc/lilo/README and
went to the steps one by one. I even run the command using my newly
modified config file (see below): /etc/lilo/install -v -v -v -t
Right after that I could reboot from the harddisk. I don't remember
if I ran /etc/lilo/install after but I know that I did ran it several
times before. It could that I didn't set up my config file properly
e.g. using /dev/hda1 for boot instead of /dev/hda. Anyway it works
real well now.
