|
<P>Although the documentation found in Lilo's sources (the one installed
|
|
in <CODE>/usr/doc/lilo</CODE>-version) is very comprehensive, most Linux
|
|
users experience some trouble in building their own
|
|
<CODE>/etc/lilo.conf</CODE> file. This document is meant to support them
|
|
by giving the minimal information and by showing five sample
|
|
installations:</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>The first example is the classical ``Linux and other'' installation.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>The next one shows how to install Lilo on a hard drive
|
|
connected as <CODE>/dev/hdc</CODE> that will boot as <CODE>/dev/hda</CODE>.
|
|
This is usually needed when you install a new Linux drive from
|
|
your own running system. This also tells how to boot from SCSI
|
|
disks when your BIOS is modern enough.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>The third example shows how to boot a Linux system whose root
|
|
partition can't be accessed by the BIOS.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>The next sample file is used to access huge disks, that neither the
|
|
BIOS nor DOS can access easily (this one is somehow outdated).
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>The last example shows how to restore a damaged disk,
|
|
if the damage resulted from installing another
|
|
operating system).
|
|
</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>The last three examples are by Cameron, <CODE>cls@truffula.sj.ca.us</CODE>,
|
|
who wrote the original document. Alessandro <CODE>rubini@linux.it</CODE>
|
|
doesn't run anything but Linux, so he can't check
|
|
nor update them by himself. Needless to say, any feedback is welcome.</P>
