Hi all,
Because I am a darn fool, I installed win2k, now I can't recover LILO.
machine wont boot it freezes at LIL
what I did was to boot off the distro CD, (Open Linux 2.3) which uses a ram
disk, mounted my harddisk on /mnt
copied /mnt/etc/lilo.conf (original ) to /etc
copied /mnt/sbin/lilo to /sbin
ran lilo
I get a message
"Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0x0100"
What am I doing wrong ?
my partitions from fdisk
Command (m for help): p
