Hi all

I make some change to the LILO, and I know that after any change need reinstall the LILO.

The question is, when I am first install the Red Hat Linux 8.0, I choosed install the LILO to the /dev/hda1 First Sector of boot partition, not is the /dev/hda

I am wonderful, if I enter the command like "lilo -v -v -v" do it will replace my MBR?

Since my MBR have installed W2K Pro, and want to keep itself boot loader

How to install the LILO in /dev/hda1?

Oh, yes, the other question are, if I am want to from LILO boot loader change to using GRUB, how to do it on Red Hat 8.0? I want to try GRUB, also, the GRUB need to install to /dev/hda1 not /dev/hda

I just know GRUB is calculation from 0, then do it mean if install it to hda1 , then the value is like that "root (hd0,1)"

Do "root (hd0,1)"' the "1" is mean the install the GRUB to hda1 not the MBR?

Just curious: did you try

$ liloconfig

yet? I do believe you can choose to have lilo run from /dev/hda1 if you so desired (I think you have to select "Expert" mode from within the liloconfig menu and then choose "Configure" or "Reconfigure"... I forgot what it's called, but it's the first option).

I'm probably not being very helpful (and I doubt I'm telling you anything you didn't know yet...), but I just thought I'd make sure you tried <liloconfig>.

In lilo.conf the line 'boot = *' is the location where the bootloader is installed, MBR is 'boot = /dev/hda', 1st partition on hda (hda1) is 'boot = /dev/hda1'.

Isn't liloconfig part of slackware specifically?

Cool
