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. __________________________________________________________________ Vodafone te ofrece el primer servicio de mensajer�a instant�nea con todo lo que hasta ahora te ofrec�a un messenger cl�sico, ahora tambi�n desde tu m�vil.
