If you have an NFS root available, you can boot the Soekris box from it and install lilo onto the CF. Requires lilo on the NFS root + a chrooted "apt-get install lilo" onto the CF's root partition + a 'lilo -C' against the root partition. Make sure both lilo's are the same version. Using a Debian installer image you can install Debian directly onto the CF after a TFTP boot, but I think you (Philippe) already did that. Doesn't Debian have an option for installing lilo i.o. GRUB? Can't remember, but I suspect it is possible (it isn't with a standard Ubuntu, but that's Ubuntu..). A colleague of mine once stated that he would never trust anything that called itself Grand and Unified, he probably was right;) Bill > > - If you created the root filesystem on another machine and not on the > soekris, did you create it with the correct cylinder/header/sector > values?
