Hi all,
is it really so? My Caldera boots classic with LILO and also I can see an
splash sreen. I find out that Caldera pathed the LILO so there is an new
stage 2 to switch into another VGA graphic mode (274) and show a binary
message file (the splash screen). If you want to use this VGA grphic mode
you have to enable the frame buffer in your kernel config and recompile it.
Good luck, Stephan.
