Hi everyone,
I have created bootable ISO CD (with isolinux.bin) and started
Linux with it. Then I formated my hard driver /dev/hda, created
a new root file system on it.
How can I make my hard-driver bootable?
I tried to use the lilo command to install LILO on it, but it didn't
work properly. When I rebooted the system from hard-driver, the
system has the exact mounting configuration as I called the lilo
command, e.g. the / is mounted on /dev/ram0. But I want to
mount / to /dev/hda1. I tried, upo the lilo prompt, to specify the root
device
explicitely, but it doesn't work.
How can I tell the Linux kernel or LILO to mount the root file system
to my hard-disk /dev/hda1?
Is there another way to make a hard driver bootable?
Thanks in advance,
James X. Li
