bypass lilo default boot image temporarily

plisken · 04-13-2013, 02:53 PM

I'm looking for a way to bypass the lilo default boot image

Code:

default=<name>

temporarily, ie on current reboot only.

When I issue a reboot, I'd like to temporarily change the default boot without having to edit lilo.conf and rerun lilo

thanks

When the loader comes up hit the option to edit & remove the "splash" entry.
