I continually get an error message when trying to install LILO to the MBR.
The error reads something like "An error has occurred while trying to
install LILO to the MBR". I have tried multiple combinations of
partitioning strategies with the same result. The most time consuming part
of this is having to complete an entire installation with each attempt.
The hardware: 4GB SCSI drive
I use the Linux FDISK to create the partitions. Although I should not be
burdened by the 1024th cylinder issue, I make it a habit of creating a
100MB /boot partition as sda1. Here is an example of a typical partitioning
strategy that I use:
sda1 /boot Linux native 100MB
sda2 /dos DOS 1000MB
sda3 Linux Swap 100MB
sda4 / Linux native 2800MB
I suspect that since I use a SCSI hard drive, I may have to provide some
arguments during the installation section that asks for them, as well as
whether or not to use linear mode. I don't understand this section, nor can
I find any documentation regarding what it's for and how it works.
Any tips?
Thanks
