Folks: I installed Slink on my system but had not installed LILO to make it bootable directly from the HD. Someone swiped the boot disk.
Question: Is it possible, given the contents of the /etc/fstab file and a knowledge of where the kernel is located (/boot/vmlinuz-2.036) to run LILO from a boot disk -- say "Tom's Unix on a floppy" and make the floppy boot the kernel on the hard disk? If it is possible, would some kind soul please tell me how to do this feat. (Mea Culpa: I well understand the importance of duplicating the boot disk. I didn't do it this time and I have a Windows 98 only machine as retribution.) My machine has: 126 Meg RAM 100 MHz motherboard K6 2-350 512 K cache 9.?
