On a debian install , IIRC , there is NO default = label line ... instead ... if you poke around the lilo documentation , it should say somewhere that the label that appears first will be the default choice if there is no default = label statement given. I mean the default base install of course. After installing Debian , I manually added a default = line ... in fact , there is no "prompt" line either on a base debian install .... you have to add that manually too...forcing you to read the documentation for linux if you want a user friendly LILO ;-) Hence please don't say Affirmatively , "There _will_ be ...." ,... --- IMO , this would have been a better way to address it : "There should be most likely an entry called default = foo... if not , add an entry , default = bar.baz" ...
