YOu have to do that.... Sorry the silo documentation in the install manual is weak -- be comforted that the x86/lilo documentation is just as week. I suspect either a bad disklabel or else a misconfigured silo, which you should be able to recover from by putting in the right silo arguments on the prompt. -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
