Hi, I'm mailing this to you, Steve, and copying the list for any comments you may have. You, or anyone on the list. Here, by floppy transfer, is what /sbin/lilo -v -v -v -q shows on my Debian 6x86 platform.
I'd backed up the MBR of /dev/hda and have it saved away in two files on two boxes. Also made the mods to my /etc/lilo configuration as you suggested. Debian is the default boot; other=bsd. Do you see anything more to be done before I install the loader? Much obliged! gary kline ----- Forwarded message from Gary Kline ----- >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Mar 29 16:37:06 1998 Date: Sun, 29 Mar 1998 16:28:32 -0800 (PST) From: Gary Kline <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: lilo.output # # output of /sbin/lilo -v -v -v -q # LILO version 19, Copyright 1992-1996 Werner Almesberger Caching device /dev/hda (0x0300) Caching device /dev/hda1 (0x0301) Caching device /dev/hda2 (0x0302) Caching device /dev/hda3 (0x0303) Caching device /dev/hda4 (0x0304) Caching device /dev/hda5 (0x0305) Caching device /dev/hda6 (0x0306) Caching device /dev/hda7 (0x0307) Caching device /dev/hda8 (0x0308) Caching device /dev/hdb (0x0340) Caching device /dev/hdb1 (0x0341) Caching device /dev/hdb2 (0x0342) Caching device /dev/hdb3 (0x0343) Caching device /dev/hdb4 (0x0344) Caching device /dev/hdb5 (0x0345) Caching device /dev/hdb6 (0x0346) Caching device /dev/hdb7 (0x0347) Caching device /dev/hdb8 (0x0348) Caching device /dev/sda (0x0800) Caching device /dev/sda1 (0x0801) Caching device /dev/sda2 (0x0802) Caching device /dev/sda3 (0x0803) Caching device /dev/sda4 (0x0804) Caching device /dev/sda5 (0x0805) Caching device /dev/sda6 (0x0806) Caching device /dev/sda7 (0x0807) Caching device /dev/sda8 (0x0808) Caching device /dev/sdb (0x0810) Caching device /dev/sdb1 (0x0811) Caching device /dev/sdb2 (0x0812) Caching device /dev/sdb3 (0x0813) Caching device /dev/sdb4 (0x0814) Caching device /dev/sdb5 (0x0815) Caching device /dev/sdb6 (0x0816) Caching device /dev/sdb7 (0x0817) Caching device /dev/sdb8 (0x0818) Device 0x0801: BIOS drive 0x80, 255 heads, 131 cylinders, 63 sectors.
