Yeah lilo is enough but any changes in lilo.conf and you got to go
through lilo to update.
Looking @ extlinux, it has provides flexibility in that any changes in
extlinux.conf are automatically picked up.
Anyway, I experimented a bit with a Debian Squeeze base install (the
method should be applicable to Voyage Linux)
1. apt-get install extlinux syslinux
2. extlinux-install /dev/sda (this installs the mbr.bin to /dev/sda
MBR, creates /boot/extlinux and copies ldlinux.sys)
3. cp menu.c32 to /boot/extlinux/ (optional if you want to a text
based menu of the entries)
4. Create a sample extlinux.conf file (refer to the grub.cfg for
kernel and initrd options)
See below for my extlinux.conf file. Make sure that KERNEL,
APPEND, INITRD entries match your system.
5. apt-get purge grub-pc (do this only after you are satisfied that
system is booting fine with extlinux)
I will try out this method on the images on my CF cards going into the
embedded devices.
