A little from column A a little from column B.
I tried using a boot disk, and pointing it to /dev/sda1 but no dice.
Lilo gives me errors:
First that map file was wrong or something.. so I added the -m
blah option.
Then about a /boot/boot file or something, so I played with the -r
option.. to no avail.

Hmm I know cp didn't copy the /dev stuff right.. but I figured I could run
MAKEDEV once it was up.. any tips for using tar/dump to copy that stuff
properly? Could that be causeing the problem?
