I'm wondering if you might have to do some drive mapping. My windows install
is on hdb, so to get it to boot, I do:

I believe Windows likes to be the first partition on
the drive, and then you have to set LILO to the MBR
(master boot record). I think FreeBSD defaults it's

It's my experience that doing that will only 'take' as long as the

You will have to copy all the partitions off to another drive (with

lilo now stops booting after typing out LIL-

Right--if you have your IDE drives set up to use LBA mode then
the 1024 "limit" is not an issue for LILO (older version).
It is only if you are not using LBA that you need to worry
about this.

That's wonderful if you happen to be running the new version of LILO,
however the new version of LILO isn't shipping with any of the latest

I'm only guessing what you are asking here . . .
If you mean that your LILO on the hard disk went away,
but you can still boot from floppy, then . . .
Just boot from floppy, the log in as root, and run lilo, by typing
lilo
.
If you mean somthihng else, please ask the question more coherently
hi !
my lilo does not work anymore
how do i restore the fd0 to the lilo ?
is there a short way to do that ?
please help !!

I'm really getting fed up with this problem. So many people said it was
so easy to use a big HD and boot more than one distribution, I wish there
were some way to figure out why it won't work for me

order to use fips later.
But a problem appears. Lilo was not removed from MBR (i must say: "i
couldn't remove lilo from MBR"). then, it tries to
