I am working on the Debian package of lilo and am writing code for auto-generating lilo.conf files.
Below is an example of the type of lilo.conf that can be generated. The debconf asks whether you want boot or boot-menu as the boot loader, it asks what VGA mode you want, what parameters to append, and what DOS partitions to setup with the "other=" settings. The rest is inferred from the running system. If your lilo.conf has things that aren't in this which you think should be in debconf then please do an anonymous ftp to ivanova.coker.com.au and upload it to the incoming directory. I'll try and make the next version do what you require. boot=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc root=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 compact install=/boot/boot-menu.b delay=20 map=/boot/map append="video=vesa:ywrap,pmipal,mtrr" vga=791 read-only image=/vmlinuz label=Linux image=/vmlinuz.old label=old other=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 label=part1 table=/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
