Hi, > When using Lilo as a loader to load Debian do I require a boot > disk for Hard Disks over 1024 cylinders or does it still work.
Depends on your BIOS. If you have a fairly recent BIOS on your Motherboard or EIDE Controller, yo ucan use Lilo with it. A simple solution is to put the root partition at the (logical) start of the Disk and then the Kernel itself will be located in th e first 1024 sectors. If you have DOS drivers to support your large disk, u can also use loadlin to boot the kernel. Recent SCSI Controllers have an extended BIOS and are able to translate the Disk geometry.
