also and of course the word 'linux' is normally 'ok' but it depends what on
earth _that_ kernel image was called in lilo.conf. Generally the prompt is a
dead giveaway.
You can of course also add the parm
linux 3 root=/dev/somewhere boot=/somewhere_else noinitrd
The verb noinitrd is essential for cd rom booting because it tells the loader
NOT to use the specially created install-everything kernel that would be
present on that cd. It also causes the booter to go to the real image, pass
go, and collect $200.
Bestest bet you can have is simply try these parms and play a bit, you
*cannot* hurt your linux system doing so.
