Bootloader problem help!

Dumpsterm0uth · 01-20-2003, 02:44 PM

I don't know how many times I installed Linux Redhat 8 on my toshiba 1905-s301 laptop. I cannot get Lilo to even show up. I turn on laptop it loads into windows like any normal laptop unless I scan the floppy drive and boot linux from a floppy. Can someone help I just want the bootloader to show up.

During install, are you installing it to the Master Boot Record ?

That doesn't answer my question, are you installing on the MBR or maybe the first partition on hda ??

Cause if your installing to MBR and it gives no errors, and then boots directly to Windows, then its not installing correctly then.
