that unfortunately doens't work. I did it and it did write to the MBR I
wnat, but the boot doesn't complete; at bootup it says
LI
and just hangs. I dug around and found out that's cos my /boot/boot.b is
in the wrong place.
my /etc/lilo.conf file:
prompt
timeout=50
default=fedora1
boot=/dev/hde
map=/boot/System.map
install=/boot/boot.b
#message=/boot/message
lba32
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=fedora1
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.img
read-only
append="hdb=ide-scsi root=/dev/hde7"
other=/dev/hde2
optional
label=DOS
