Fixing MBR with lilo with a non-boot drive
Hi,
I'm trying to update the kernel on a hard drive with Linux installed on it. Let's call this HDD1. HDD1 doesn't allow me to boot up normally, so there's no way I can get a shell on it and apply lilo as a boot drive. I have another Linux installation which I boot from. Let's call this HDD2. I then connect HDD1 to the system that is booted up to HDD2. HDD2 is detected as /dev/sda and HDD1 is detected as /dev/sdb. I then mount HDD1 on some directory, say /fix, as follows: Code:
mount /dev/sdb1 /fix How can I apply lilo and write to the boot sector of HDD1 instead of HDD2? Is it the following? Code:
chroot /fix/ /sbin/lilo -v -v |
|
what should you try to write to the boot sector?
|
I've checked the man pages, but couldn't find any definitive guide to doing what I wish to do. Any help?
