Yes, if you can put a primary /boot partition (16MB or 1 cyl on a large
translated drive) under the 1024 cyl point (unless you have a new LILO
without 1024 cyl limit). The /boot partition needs all files that are in
your current /boot and then /etc/fstab would have to be modified to mount
your new /boot:
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
Set up /etc/lilo.conf to put LILO on the /boot partition and set it as
the active boot partition with Linux or Windows fdisk. The rest of Linux
can be anywhere. Then you do not have to worry about messing up your MBR
or a Windows update stepping on it.

Or simply run 'setclock' as root once your system time is corrected.
'ntpdate' from the xntp package is handy for updating your system time
before using setclock.

Subject: How to restore my linux HD MBR
Date: Fri, 04 Aug 2000 03:30:03 GMT
Hi, guys
On my PC, there are two hard disks. On IDE0, which is
Primary Master HD, I installed RedHat Linux 6.0; on IDE 2,
which is Secondary Master HD, I installed Windows 98.
As you know, I installed Windows 98 first, then RedHat
Linux. So, every time when I boot the PC, I got the Linux
loader LILO first. From LILO prompt, I could choose if I
want to boot into Linux or Windows 98.
Last time, when I booted into Windows 98 and tried to
close Win98 and exit to Dos prompt, (I assumed,) eSafe
(an anti-virus software) detected the MBR of IDE0 (My
Linux HD MBR) is not a valid Microsoft MBR, and then
treated it as a virus. Then, asked me to remove it,
which resulted in crashing my Linux Hard Drive.
I tried to fix my Linux HD MBR from linux side, but I
failed. That is what I did:
1) Disconnect both of my original Win98 and Linux HDs,
and connect a new HD (the third one) as Primary Master
HD.
2) Install RedHat 6.0 on the third HD, /dev/hda1.
During installation, I made a boot floppy.
3) Boot my PC from a win98 bootable floppy. Execute
"fdisk /MBR" to destroy Linux MBR.
4) Boot the PC from linux bootable floppy, which I
made at step 2). Due to /dev/hda1 has been mounted
during booting up, using "/sbin/lilo -v", I could
restore the Linux MBR, which was destroyed at step 3).
But, I donot have a boot floppy for my original Linux
HD. Is there any other way to restore my Linux HD MBR,
I even tried to boot my original Linux HD from the
linux boot floppy made at step 2). The partition is
totally different between both HDs, I could not mount
other partitions than /("root") partition after my
booting up. So, I could find file lilo.conf under
/etc, but I cannot find file /boot/boot.b. Because I
am not able to mount /boot partition. Therefore, when
I executed /sbin/lilo -v, Linux cannot find
/boot/boot.b to restore the MBR.
I really hope you guys could help me out of this
trouble.
Thank you very much.
Regards,
hawk

Ok, heres what you need to stuff in the liloconfig program to
get a proper boot for your buggy MB.
Begin Start LILO configuration with a new LILO header
Linux Add a Linux partition to the LILO config file
OS/2 Add an OS/2 partition to the LILO config file
DOS Add a DOS partition to the LILO config file
Install Install LILO
Recycle Reinstall LILO using the existing lilo.conf
Skip Skip LILO installation and exit this menu
View View your current /etc/lilo.conf
Help Read the Linux Loader HELP file
start with Begin. I will ask you for additinal info such as options
for your kernal. type in no387 and hit enter (thats your option)
select floppy as your lilo booter.
at the Linux prompt you select your Linux root path (you know this
already I am sure it would be /dev/hda7.
same is done for the Dos and OS/2 partions (if desired)
Now do Install to put a lilo on a floppy disk. If you rather
not do it via liloconfig you can modify the /etc/lilo.conf by hand.
you need the line called append= to add the no387 info. This line goes
before the actual boot defininitions. When you are done adding the
append= info you put your floppy in /fd0 and type
lilo this will update the floppy with the new info.

No. Nobody can change history.
Every single nations in the world have done something wrong during its
history.
But as long as they realise the mistakes, and have *learned* how not to
repeat the same mistake. Then... What's wrong with that!?
The important thing is to learn from history. Let's forgive, but not
forget our mistakes that were made in the pass. Learn how to avoid
making the same mistakes again.

however, it's not working. The cdrom is an IDE type MKE and the model

Money is a construct for which ownership is pretty intrinsic.
Its _essence_ is as an expression of owned value.
Thus, any argument surrounding the notion of things that _cannot be
owned_ cannot be applied to money, at least not without taking _great_
care to form syllogisms to indicate the lack of ownership.
Putting that another way, if A robs a bank, then A has taken some
form of property that is _owned_.
That is completely incompatible with the thesis being explored which
is that that some computer software may be expressly _not ownable_.
[Further down the road lies the thesis that "intellectual property" is an
intellectual _sham_ using the argument that ideas are _not_ property...]
Something that is not owned cannot be "stolen," and thus there can be no
"robbery," and hence the notion of associating criminal action with thus
makes no sense at all. It's not owned, wasn't stolen, and thus there
is no "criminal."
Grump however you like about how "you weren't talking about that,"
but you _were_ responding to the line:
"if you can't own it, you can't be stealing it right?"
Two directions appear _reasonable_ in constructing a coherent debate
to the thesis:
a) You could claim that the notion that "you can't own it" is
nonsense, and that the "can't be stealing part" thus has nothing
to follow.
But you never said anything about that.
b) The alternative is to say "OK, fine, you can't own it. But
that _doesn't_ lead to stealing being impossible."
Instead, you ignored both the initial premise ("can't own it") _and_ the
claimed result ("can't possibly steal it"), and made up some alternative
thesis indicating that this is all just like saying that it's not criminal
to rob banks. That's nonsense.

You may _think_ you're arguing well, but it's rather more like Ratbert

and then debating using lines like "I must be right - this brain pack

the new vmlinux-2.2.16-3 kernel. But there is no new initrd file. What is
initrd for? Should I continue to use the
initrd-2.2.12-20.img with the 2.2.16 kernel as in;
$ cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label=linux2212
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda6
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
read-only
root=/dev/hda6
Everything seems to work ok this way. What is the initrd file for? It's not
mentioned in 'man lilo.conf'.
Thanks,

So I bought a LaserJet II.
Any ideas were I can get linux printer drivers for it?

Did you try?
Boot with the linux installation disk and then choose "Rescue" instead
of installing.
When it gets to the lilo prompt enter: "linux root=/dev/hdaX" where the
X is the correct root partition.
Once you get back in to linux then just do a "/sbin/lilo" to reinstall
lilo to the MBR.
Hope this helps
