In fact you make a symlink in /boot ( correction- sorry just noticed ? where /
should be, don't wish to confuse.) to point to it and add it to
/etc/lilo.conf
Like this:-
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-1
label=Linux-2
root=/dev/hda6
read-only
image=/boot/bzImage-1
label="linux-1"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdb=ide-scsi acpi=off"
read-only
Or you could as Robert suggested, instead of making a symlink to the kernel
image in the /home/haywire directory, just copy the actual kernel image into
/boot. I have never done it this way, but it sounds good.
