[newbie] lost lilo

[marshall weber]

Hi folks,

I just upgraded to Mandrake 8.0 from 7.2.  I can no longer dual boot
between linux and Win 98.
No lilo.  How do I get the lilo back?  Thanks.

edit /etc/lilo.conf to include windows 98.

Then run /sbin/lilo

See this page for details:

Here's another thing to try.  Once you've booted from your rescue disk,
mount your root partition under /mnt.  Put a blank, formatted floppy in
your floppy drive.  Then do

dd if=/mnt/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=512

Then reboot from that floppy.  If it gives you a lilo prompt, enter
"linux root=/dev/hdb1" (or whatever partition is root).  This should
boot your system somewhat normally.  Then, once it's booted, do
/sbin/lilo.
