Use the program 'rdev'
For example;
Inatsll lilo on a floppy, just edit /etc/lilo.conf and change
boot = /dev/hdb
to
/dev/fd0
run lilo
Now do;
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda2
You dont say on which partition the root filesystem is, so i have used
/dev/hda2 as an example.
It all comes down to everything changes in respect of /dev/hdb to /dev/hda so
if the root dilesystem is located on hdb2 it will become hda2
Once you have changed the disks and rebooted from floppy edit /etc/lilo.conf
once again and change
boot = /dev/fdo
to
/dev/hda
Change all lilo entries from /dev/hdbx to /dev/hdax
rerun lilo
You will have to use rdev again this way, this time
rdev /boot/image_name /dev/hda2
remember all images will have to be told to boot from /dev/hdax
This is in my opinion one of the easiest ways there are other ways.
