Faulty! Make the following changes and re-run LILO. That should fix you up! I would fix him up if the Win95 boot sector hadn't already been overwritten. As is, that will just keep the problem from happening again. This guy has got to sys c: from Win95 as well, to restore the old 95 boot

Thanks to all that have posted to this thread. Last night finally got it to work and no more boot from floppy ;o) The final lilo.conf was: boot=/dev/hda install=/kernel/boot/boot.b map=/kernel/boot/map delay=50 timeout=70 compact prompt default=Win95 image=/kernel/boot/vmlinuz

I think the problem is different here. You see, what is happening in the lilo.conf shown (at least to the best of my understanding, and I am no expert) is that LILO is installed on /dev/hda1 -- that is, the first partition. The stanza you show would just boot from the first partition,
