    Hi,

    my Redhat 7.1 doesn¡¯t boot, so I want to edit lilo.conf after booting with a boot floppy. This boot disk was created with these two files under Win98:

    ftp://ftp.rz.uni-kiel.de/pub2/linux/redhat/9/en/os/i386/images/bootdisk.img

    and rawrite.exe

    But with it I can¡¯t reach the file lilo.conf in the hard disk. There¡¯re five options after booting with this floppy

    F1-Main, F2-Options, F3-General, F4-Kernel, F5-Rescue

    But after choosing F5 I can't continue at this stage:

    What type of media contains the packages to be installed?
     

           Local CDROM

           Hard drive

           NFS image

           FTP

           HTTP

    I don't want to reinstall Linux, but edit lilo.conf. In other words, how can I get to the normal shell command mode and reach my hard disk?

    Thanks

    Shang
