[KLUG Members] LIILO on a secondary HD

[Jamie McCarthy]

I did a debian upgrade on a machine that hadn't been upgraded in a
while.  It told me to run lilo but like an idiot I forgot;  then I
powered the machine down to protect from lightning and now it won't
come back up.  It gets as far as the "LI".

I assume I just have to run lilo on the drive and all will be well.

This machine is very old and won't boot from CD-ROM, so I took out
its boot HD and plugged it into another machine as /dev/hdc.

I'm trying to figure out how to get lilo to write that drive's
/etc/lilo.conf info onto that drive (not this machine's boot drive!).
I've mounted it at /mnt/hdc and am mulling over the output from:

    # lilo -t -v -b /dev/hdc -C /mnt/hdc/etc/lilo.conf

I can't tell if that's going to do what I want!  Anyone know the
magic formula?
