LILO wasn't starting so I nuked the MBR (using DOS fdisk /MBR -- surely
there's a non DOS way to do this?) and now can't get lilo to reinstall
itself.
sudo lilo -v
LILO version 21.6, Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Werner Almesberger

Reading boot sector from /dev/hda2
Merging with /boot/boot.b
Boot image: /vmlinuz
Added Linux *
Boot image: /vmlinuz.old
Added old
Boot other: /dev/hda1, on /dev/hda, loader /boot/chain.b
Added dos
/boot/boot.0302 exists - no backup copy made.
Writing boot sector.
But do you think that actually does anything? Nope. Instead it just
boots up Winyuck. For reference here's my lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda2
root=/dev/hda2
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
delay=20
map=/boot/map
append=""
read-only
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=old
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
So what am I doing wrong?
