Helo Michael and newbie-list,
I just read this mail and it reminded Michael to let you know I resolved the
problem with .... LIL- when I was attempting to boot from the hard drive. My
problem was that in the lilo.conf file in /etc the boot was defined as
boot=/dev/hda1 rather than boot=/devhda
I just wanted to pass that along and quite honestly have no idea as to how
boot got defined in that manner. When I did my install of 6.1 I told LILO to
install to MBR not any other partition but correcting that and re-running
/sbin/lilo -v corrected the problem.
Thank you for your response,
Dave
