Forcing Lilo to DOESN'T check

Half_Elf · 11-13-2002, 05:41 PM

I have several removable device and some contain bootable OS.
Because of that, I have a very annoying problem with LILO. When I try to rewrite my MBR using Lilo, it give me errors about all "not present device" (of course stupid buggy thing, my device are removable!) so I have to plug all my stuff or to comment some part of the lilo.conf.
Is there a way to force lilo to ignore error or to do not check for error?

"lilo -F -Pignore" might work.

Half_Elf, I don't know if this will work, but try using ' unsafe ' in the /etc/lilo.conf file. Put it in each removable device's section. Like this:

other=/dev/fd0
unsafe
label=floppy
