Hello all,
After reading the Lilo user guide, i have an idea: Can i copy an kernel
image to a floppy without first making filesystem on the floppy, and
then install lilo on the floppy.I have tried serveral times, but failed.
I am wonderring whether it is possible.
The following is what i have done( in RH6.0):
1. dd if=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15 of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k
It tells me " 552+1 blocks IN/OUT"
2. edit an fdlilo.conf with the following(/dev/hda2 is my linux root
file system):
boot=/dev/fd0
map=/boot/fd.map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label=hd
root=/dev/hda2
read-only
image=/dev/fd0
range=0-552
label=fd
root=/dev/hda2
read-only
3. lilo -C fdlilo.conf
4. Booting from the floppy. When i enter "hd" in the prompt, it
works just fine. But when i enter "fd", Lilo says "Wrong Loader:
give up."
Have i done anything wrong? Looking forward to your help.
Many Thanks.
