so don't flood XFree86 related mailing list.

> startup.  Then during my next windows session, Norton AntiVirus determined

> linux root=dev/hda6 (the location of my linux partition) it locks up after
> displaying a message about a "Kernel panic."  So basically, I'm stuck in
> windows for the moment, and would like to know if there is a way I can get
> a command line from which i can re-run lilo, which i presume will fix the
> problem, or some other solution that doesn't involve my re-installing and
> having to go through all the problems I went through to get this working
> in the first place.
