The problem with the simple solution is the way lilo.conf is set up
refers to image=/mnt/hda5 or /mnt/hda? (whatever) except for redhat,
which is /boot/... RedHat is on /dev/hda6 (with it's /home on
/dev/hda7.) I'm currenly mostly using elx linux on /dev/hda10, which
would not be /mnt/hda10 when running /sbin/lilo from elx.
It occurs to me that I'm using incorrect syntax in lilo.conf. should I
be using /dev instead of /mnt? But then what about the image=/boot/...
which will vary from dist to dist?
Thinking out loud...
RTFM....
Here is part of my Redhat lilo.conf;
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2
label=RedHat_Linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda6
append="hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi"
image=/mnt/hda5/boot/vmlinuz
label=Libranet_Linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
append="hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi"
[snip]
image=/mnt/hda10/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.13-1elx
label=Elx_Linux_RC2
read-only
root=/dev/hda10
append="hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi"
