Ok,
Back to the list with questions.
First off let me thank Duncan and Jonathan for helping me with the "Network in
Rescue" problem. I solved the problem another way but thanks for the help.
Ok, situation ...
IBM Thinkpad 600. Old Linux 6.3. Attempts to upgrade failed due to bad media.
(Damn Nero). Did a complete install with new disks. This is a dual boot
laptop with a NT Partition and a Linux system. Boot Magic running in a small
hidden FAT partition has always booted both systems. Ok, In my confusion I
thought that since boot magic was booting both partitions that I did NOT need a
boot loader for linux so I choose to not install one during the Install.
But nooooo....
Boot magic does need a boot loader. I know it works with LILO as that was what
was on the old 6.3 system. I do not know if it works with GRUB. Does it?
And now I have a Linux 7.3 system that boots fine with the boot floppy but not
with Boot Magic.
So I tried to do an upgrade and install the boot loader during the upgrade.
Message was "No kernel upgrade, boot loader not installed".
Is there any way to do a manual install of lilo, (or GRUB if it works with Boot
Magic 8.0)? I want the boot loader on the 50MB partion that I am mounting as
/boot.
