I think you also have an other problem. You must mount the floppy to /boot and then write the the files to it. Lilo need files to load the chainloader. Also the mapfile (created from lilo) must be on the floppy. After mounting i think that lilo knows also the geometry of the floppy, because fd0 is only a generic device for the other fd0u.... . -- MFG Gernot
