Yes, it works!
Thanks a lot, Hoyt!
You have to:
** Create a new directory EX : /mandrake
** copy everything from
/cdrom/dosutils/autoexec_something_
into it (see below)
** modify /etc/lilo.conf like this
image=/mandrake/vmlinuz
initrd=/mandrake/initrd.img
root=/dev/ram
label=mandrake
** Run lilo again
** reboot, and type mandrake at the boot prompt
Some notes:
1) This method shoud be added to the installation manual
even if it only works when LILO is already there.
2) How the heck do I make a boot floppy now?
3) X doesn't work well with the previous, perfectly tuned Modelines.
Thin white lines blink in the upper-left part of the screen,
1/2 times /sec. Image is stable, nitid and centered apart from that.
I noticed the installer detects a CT65550 chip when it is a CT65545,
could that be the reason? How could I fix it?
TIA,
