Redhat Linux 9 - switch from GRUB to LILO
 
Hi, I'm using the Redhat Linux 9 temporary so I learn how to add system calls on this OS. I want to know how can I change from grub to lilo. I'm using GRUB bootloader, by the way.

Here is how I installed LILO on RH9:

Code:

cd /usr/src
wget http://home.san.rr.com/johninsd/pub/...2.7.bin.tar.gz

cd /
tar -zxvf /usr/src/lilo-22.7.bin.tar.gz
lilo -V

cat > /etc/lilo.conf << "EOF"
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
raid-extra-boot=mbr
boot=/dev/md3
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8
        label=linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img
        read-only
        root=/dev/md3
EOF

lilo

Note that I have dual IDE disks that are RAID1 mirrored so this lilo.conf will probably not work for your system. The reason I installed a new lilo is to get the raid capability.
