After installing 9.0 on my second hdd I was not getting a choice at lilo
stage. Following advice I re-wrote lilo from the CD1 of 9.0 This was a
really bad idea. It reinstalled my boot loaded for 8.2, and now I'm stuck in
8.2 with a perfectly good 9.0 installation inaccessible.
I have re-written lilo to what it was originally, like this:
map=/boot/map
default=linux
keytable=/boot/uk.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
ignore-table
disk=/dev/hde bios=0x80
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hdf1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi nobiospnp"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=failsafe
root=/dev/hdf1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=nomount hdc=ide-scsi failsafe"
read-only
other=/dev/hde1
label=windows
table=/dev/hde
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
What is stopping this working? Is it that map=/boot/map line - the map being
overwritten? There must be a way out of this.
How do I get back to 9.0 without re-installing? I'm devastated.
