TIA. > > Rob > Bob I am _not_ a lilo expert but I have checked the lilo manual and I can only come up with two things. 1) wipe out the MBR on hda with DOS fdisk /MBR and run lilo by hand again. 2) I don't use that install= line that you have and the manual seems to show examples only using install= for a floppy. (???) Other then the install line your lilo.conf looks OK to me, for whatever that is worth.
