Hello again,

ok, i apologize for my lack of words (and my English)

What i have:
I boot the pc from tomsrtbt. It places itself on a ram device, and 
mount an NFS filesystem defined by me on another ram device. The pc 
has 
a hard disk, where there are some operating systems installed, 
whichever, don't have to be Linux.

My lilo.conf file seems like this:

lba32
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda2
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
default Linux
image=....
  label=...
other=/dev/hda1
  laber=...


What i did:
First i create boot directory in the tomsrtbt ramdisk and copy the 
boot.b 
file from tomsrtbt and configure the lilo.conf in /etc. Then i tried 
to 
run lilo from the tomsrtbt distro. The message i obtained was:
"Sorry, don't know to handle device 0x0100"

Second attempt: in the NFS filesystem, i've got an almost complete 
Linux filesystem created in a directory called linfs, where i placed 
the complete lilo program (and the libraries needed, of course) and 
the 
lilo.conf file. Then i executed:
chroot /linfs /sbin/lilo
and the result was:
"Fatal:Triying to map files from unnamed device 0x0002 (NFS ?)"
and also:
lilo -r linfs   ---> Error was "open /tmp/dev.0: no such device"

Third attempt: i mounted a new ram device with a new Linux filesystem 
and 
the complete lilo program. Then i tried:
chroot fs /sbin/lilo  
or 
lilo -r fs
---> Error was "Trying to map files from RAM disk. Please check -r 
option o ROOT enviroment variable" in both cases.


What i need:
i want to install lilo in the hard disk, so that the operative systems 
installed on it can boot, with my lilo.conf file configuration. And my 
question is, is there any trick to cheat lilo to do so?


Uff, i think now it's better explained!!! If anything is not 
understood, please report.

Thank you very much, Ra�l.
