Re: LILO Conf

["Werner Kliewer" <Werner_Kliewer MPIC mb ca>]

Just a dumb question, but you are remembering to run lilo after changing
the lilo.conf file, right?

And like the other reply said, since lilo goes through the bios, your boot
partition has to be in the first 1024 cylinders.

But the image= line is the correct first line of the individual boot
sections.
