Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2001-11-16
Severity: normal

When the install finished, the "Make System Bootable" option created a 
wrong lilo.conf.

The machine had 2 disks: hdc as the target, hdd as the source. There was 
nothing on the primary IDE interface. After choosing to install lilo in 
the MBR, it only offered to install it into hda. Then lilo tried that, 
but was unsuccesful, so I had to manually edit the config file. The 
root=/dev/hdc5 line was correct, but the boot=/dev/hda was not. After 
correcting it to boot=/dev/hdc lilo installed itself succesfully, and 
the system could boot.

The install disks were downloaded from the 3.0.15-2001-10-18 directory.
