Re: putting lilo on the mbr, help please
On Jun 23, Ed Urenda wrote Hello, any help with the folowing would be greatly appreciated: I have an ide with debian 1.3 and win 95 on it and decided that the rewrite_table option in lilo would be the easiest way to dual-boot the system. The recompilation of lilo with the rewrite_table option was successful, but when I add a section for win95 in lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo it complains that lilo must reside on the mbr (i assume that win95 has taken the mbr). How can I put lilo back on the mbr? You need to use the 'boot' command, I believe. Something like boot = /dev/hda in the global section of your lilo.conf. But please doublecheck with the lilo manual before adding that to your lilo.conf. Christian pgpnDukwrNYKf.pgp Description: PGP signature
