AFAIK, my posting was a bit against the rules, as I quoted under my text, but only to illustrate some points. I expect most people on the list to be fine with what is somehow along common sense (so no TOFU or so, no HTML mail, keep Subjects as appropriate...)

Of course it's the capitalized letter "C" to specify a non-standard lilo.conf location. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# lilo -C /boot/lilo.conf -v 3 > LILO version 21.4-4, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger > 'lba32' extensions Copyright (C) 1999,2000 John Coffman > Reading boot sector from /dev/hdb > Merging with /boot/boot.b > Device 0x0341: BIOS drive 0x80, 32 heads, 15 cylinders, > 63 sectors.

That most probable refers to the fact that the boot.b supplied with the iopener...cpio file stems from lilo 20.0 while the lilo executable you use comes from 21.4. > I think this is the same error I refered to in my original post that I > got on one of my early attempts at setting up the iopener. What do you > think I should try next? You could come around that by copying the /boot/boot.b file e.g. to "/" *before* mounting the sandisk as /boot, then mounting the sandisk, copying boot.b onto it and re-executing lilo... AFAIK "map" and "boot.0340" are files to be generated by lilo so the two existing ones should be fine.
