It doesn't matter a rat's *rse whether the OS booting to, uses a left knee over toehold, reverse dihedral double dichotomy file system, with pretzels. Whatever that file system 'is', it has no part to play during booting because it can't be implemented in 446 bytes! Whatever the OS, linux included, that file system, and all parephenalia associated with it, is NOT part of the boot process, it is 'somewhere else'. Very instructive... and *way too* funny! ROTFLMAO All that is ever required, is to provide the incredibly imple syntax above, so that lilo can point to 'something else'. Hi, Mike: First of all, let me say that I did not take offense to your comments in the least. They seem to have been written in the same tone as your tutorial on LILO in the SxS - which I think (tone) is very good. Second, your dry, but not-so-suttle, uproariously irreverent sense of humor bleeds through your writing in a most entertaining but immensely instructive way. Third, I learned something from this experience. Most importantly, this time I did *not* panic. I actually had some fun putting things back together. I got helpful suggestions from several list members, and I don't mean to minimize their help, but mostly, I relied on what I already knew (if I would only take the time to think about it), and what I could find in the many good books I have. Reduced to a paragraph or so, here's what I did: I first used YaST2 to make a system boot floppy by writing my existing LILO to a floppy. I tested it and it works. Then I used YaST2 (could have done that from the command line) to write the same LILO to the Linux partition of the hard drive. Next, I restored the original MBR using a DOS boot floppy and the DOS fdisk /MBR command. Then I installed Partition Magic 7 Boot Magic and made sure that would boot both OSs. Finally, I rounded the final turn by disabling Boot Magic and writing LILO to the MBR. Which is, of course, where I began. ;0) I know that wasn't the best or most straight-forward approach, but it was a worthwhile experience, all in all. Everything boots nicely. And I may remember some of this as late as next Wednesday. Thanks for your comments, Mike.
