My /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/ataraid/disc0/part1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1 /dev/ataraid/disc0/part3 / ext3 noatime 1 1 /dev/ataraid/disc0/part2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ataraid/disc0/part5 /usr ext3 noatime 1 1 /dev/ataraid/disc0/part6 /var ext3 noatime 1 2 /dev/ataraid/disc0/part7 /usr/local ext3 noatime 1 2 /dev/ataraid/disc0/part8 /opt ext3 noatime 1 2 /dev/ataraid/disc0/part9 /home ext3 noatime 1 2 And my /etc/lilo.conf looks like this: menu-scheme=Wb prompt timeout = 50 lba32 boot=/dev/ataraid/disc0/disc disk = /dev/ataraid/disc0/disc bios = 0x80 map = /boot/System.map delay = 50 vga = normal # Normal VGA console # End LILO global section # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/ataraid/disc0/part3 append = "idebus=66, ide0=ata66" label = Gentoo read-only # read-only for checking image = /boot/vmlinuz.old root = /dev/ataraid/disc0/part3 label = Old.kernel read-only # read-only for checking I hope this helps. If you find a way to make grub work, please let me know, as I would much prefer to be using grub.
