You need to change the boot sequence in the bios. When your computer
boots, at the first screen it will give you the option, probably by
pressing "Delete" to enter setup mode. When there, you have to look
around for the place where you can change the sequence of boot devices
so that your CDROM is first. Then you can boot from the CD. You are
going to LILO because your HD is listed first. When you are through
installing, you can change back. Actually, a good default sequence is
A, HD, and then CDROM, if that is an option. The computer will look for
a boot record on the floppy drive, not find it and go to the HD to boot,
unless you need to use a boot disc, and then you are all set. Exactly
where you will find this setting depends on your Bios.
Hope this helps. Don J.
