           Summary: Hard disk swap partition set as LILO floppy boot option
           Product: Installation
           Version: 1.810
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


During the installation of Mandrake 9.2 Beta 1 LILO failed to write. It gave me
this error:

Fatal: UNSAFE may be used with floppy or MBR only

When I checked /etc/lilo.conf I could see that the Floppy boot option was set
like this:

other=/dev/hda1
        label="floppy"
        unsafe

/dev/hda1 is first partition on my harddrive and it is of type swap:

/dev/hda1 swap swap defaults 0 0

So other should be set to /dev/fd0 which is the floppy.
