[newbie] Error when running LILO

[Phil Murphy]

I've edited my /etc/lilo.conf file to default to windows (easier for my
children to access their programs) but when I run lilo I get:

open /boot/boot.b: No such file or directory

lilo -q returns:

open /boot/map: No such file or directory

Any ideas why? My changes will not take effect otherwise.

Thanks, 
Phil
