I installed Mandrake 7.2beta rc onto a system with 3 disks:
/dev/hda
/dev/hdb
/dev/sda
I installed onto /dev/hdb1.
That is, during the install, I used diskdrak, specifying this mount point:
/dev/hdb1 mounted on /
(Before I did this, diskdrak showed that the mountpoint for /dev/hda1 was /.
But I already had an OS installed on /dev/hda1, and didn't want to clobber
/dev/hda1, so I changed this so that /dev/hda1 would be mounted on something
else, i.e. /hda1.)
The install went OK.
But after the install, when I rebooted the system, the LILO prompt stopped
at "LI." I had to boot into /dev/hdb1 by using the boot floppy I made.
To fix the problem, I had to change /etc/lilo.conf, and add these 2 lines:
disk=/dev/hdb
bios=0x80
Shouldn't the install have done this for me?
