Reboot the system. If you have problems, you can use the boot diskette you just make. To do so, you may have to modify your BIOS's boot-up sequence to A:, C:.
You should modify the file /etc/lilo.conf in case you later want to run LILO again. Here's an example of how the file can look:
boot=/dev/hda # Install LILO on first hard # disk. map=/boot/map # Location of "map file". install=/boot/boot.b # File to copy to floppy's # boot sector. prompt # Have LILO show "LILO boot:" # prompt. timeout=50 # Boot default system after 5 # seconds. (Value is in tenths of # seconds.) image=/boot/vmlinuz # Location of Linux kernel. The # actual name may include a version # number, for example # "vmlinuz-2.0.35". label=linux # Label for Linux system. root=/dev/hda1 # Location of root partition on # new hard disk. Modify this as # appropriate for your system. read-only # Mount partition read-only at # first, to run fsck. |
Slackware only. Use image=/vmlinuz.
