Hello My name is Steve and this is my first post to this group. I plan on attending meetings as I now have Tuesday nights free.
I installed redhat 7.3 on a second hard disk I had. The first harddisk
has winXP on it.
I didn't want to mess around with the MBR so I decided I would just boot
from floppy when I wanted to use linux.
So I had lilo install on the first sector of the second disk and created
the boot floppy.
When I try to boot from the floppy it can't find boot image "linux".
So now I have no access to my redhat install.
Below are my bootdisk contents, my lilo.conf, and partitions.
Here are the files on the boot floppy:
boot 0KB
initrd.img 0KB
LDLINUX 7KB
syslinux 0KB
vmlinuz 113KB
Here is my lilo.conf:
prompt=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hdb1
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-3.img
read-only
root=/dev/hdb5
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
I created separate partitions for each of the following:
/boot
/
/home
/usr
/tmp
/var
/LFS
