I have LILO, but I am not sure which hd is windoze, I think it is hdc1. At any rate, when I use the Boot Manager utility and modify lilo.cfg, it informs me that it is incorrect. Here is the file: boot="/dev/hdc" map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout="200" message=/boot/message lba32 default=ELX image="/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17-3elx" label="ELX" initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.17-3elx.img" read-only root="/dev/hdd5" other=/dev/hdc label="doze" ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Bier To: JJ Watson , kclug@kclug.org Subject: ELX Bootloader > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > JJ, > What boot loader are you using?
