Assuming /dev/hdb1 is your root partition add or change the following to your /etc/lilo.conf: boot=/dev/hda root=/dev/hdb1 prompt This will overwrite the boot sector on /dev/hda. The boot sector on hda can be restored to its pre-LILO self by running "lilo -u" as root. -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
