    I'm trying to edit my LILO config so that I can run debian (which is on
    /dev/hde5).

    Where is the initrd for debian located?

    I currently have something like this for my debian entry:

            image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4
            label="Debian Linux"
            root=/dev/hde5
            initrd=/boot/???
            append="quiet devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off"
            read-only

    I can't find any initrd file in /boot under the debian partition. Am I
    missing something?

    Thanks in advance,

    Dan
