I recently installed L-M 7.1 onto an empty hard drive. At the time,
it was /dev/hdc in my computer, and I had L-M 6.1 on /dev/hda1.
Since I intended to make the new HD my boot drive when I finished
installation, I told the L-M install program to install LILO. It
appeared that it had done so, but did not write anything to the MBR. I
am having to boot from a floppy boot-disk, and would rather boot from
the HD. When I tried to install LILO from the command line, I get:
"Fatal: Partition entry not found." I get the same error when I try
to use KLILO to install LILO into either the MBR or the Root
partition. I get the feeling that I don't have a MBR on this new
drive.
My question is: Is there a way to install an MBR on my new
/dev/hda without destroying my customized install of L-M 7.1?
TIA,
Scott Boyd
