1. Remove grub from linux

4. run /sbin/lilo
5. Now what?

Ouch! I wouldn't remove grub at all until you first install lilo. otherwise, you might not be able to boot at all!

(if you haven't made a bootdisk yet, you can do so as root by typing:

mkbootdisk

cheers!

In Linux I created the bin-file using:
dd if=/dev/hdb2 of=/tmp/LiloBoot.bin bs=512 count=1

cp /tmp/LiloBoot.bin a:

Then I started Windows and copied the file to d:\

This I added to the boot.ini: d:\LiloBoot.bin="RH Linux 7.2"
It worked

Power to 's
