Hi.
To complete Buchan Milne contribution in response to Narfi Stefansson,
here is a detailed HD install lilo config.
######## please replace my config by YOUR CONFIG for all "hdb5 labels"
########
######## COOKER-BASE-ABSOLUTE-DIRECTORY => /home/hdb5/devel/cooker/i586/
######## COOKER-BASE-RELATIVE-DIRECTORY => /devel/cooker/i586/
######## COOKER-BASE-PARTITION => hdb5
######## COOKER-BASE-DISK => hdb
######## COOKER-LILO-INSTALL-LABEL => ins_hd_img_hdb5
########
[root@pc root]# cd /boot
[root@pc boot]# mkdir hd_img
[root@pc boot]# mkdir -p /var/tmp/tmp_mount
[root@pc boot]# mount /home/hdb5/devel/cooker/i586/images/hd.img -o loop
/var/tmp/tmp_mount/
[root@pc boot]# cp -p /var/tmp/tmp_mount/* hd_img
######## edit /etc/lilo.conf to obtain that difference
[root@pc boot]# diff /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.svg
69,76d68
< image=/boot/hd_img/vmlinuz
< label=ins_hd_img_hdb5
< root=/dev/ram3
< initrd=/boot/hd_img/hd.rdz
< ramdisk=32000
< vga=791
<
append="automatic=method:disk,disk:hdb,par:hdb5,dir:/devel/cooker/i586"
< read-only
[root@pc boot]# lilo
Added linux *
Added linux-nonfb
Added failsafe
Added floppy
Added ins_hd_img_hdb5
[root@pc boot]# reboot
Thanks again for Buchan Milne to start this contribution.
I have try to add expert in append string like
append="expert
automatic=method:disk,disk:hdb,par:hdb5,dir:/devel/cooker/i586"
but "automatic install" feature fail on two newer question "Third party
modules" and "Scsi access"
does anybody know the string to realize "automatic install" in expert mode.
