Update: mounting MS-DOS fs onto Linux
I have not yet tried to install LILO. But I have rebuilt Linux with a different device-set about 2-3 times. I'm not sure how that could impact the /dev/hda1 partition since that drive is excluded from my boot setup files. BTW, /dev/hda1 has about 2GB of Win95 software, so my preference is to avoid re-building it. Any further clues? -c I got that same error when I ran liloconfig and tried to install LILO on my Win95 drive.
