hi i have two fedora core 3 installed in a single IDE disk, after the 2nd install of fcore 3
grub didnt boot my 1st fcore partition which i labeled 'pkg', thats why i download the rpm of lilo,
then installed it, after adding some entries i run 'lilo' as root then i get this error message below.
i hope anyone can help me fixing this problem, thanks.
