assigning hard drives letters in lilo
My current Slackware server uses a Promise Ultra100TX2 PCI IDE hard drive card and then lilo sees my Slack partition as hde1. I want to use this IDE card elsewhere but don't want to make my server not able to boot. If I pull the card, I would think lilo will not be able to find the boot partition.
Do I just have to boot with a live cd and change /etc/lilo.conf to root = /dev/hda1? If so, how would I then run lilo from a live cd? |
"Do I just have to boot with a live cd and change /etc/lilo.conf to root = /dev/hda1?"
You probably also have to change /etc/fstab "If so, how would I then run lilo from a live cd?" Use the chroot command to switch from using / on the liveCD to using / on /dev/hda1. Then run the lilo command. See: man chroot ------------------- Steve Stites |

Lilo doesn't see the '/dev/hde1', it is assigned via the 'lilo.conf' if that was the recognized device. You then or the install configured the 'lilo.conf' which was written to the 'MBR' of the boot device. Quote:
After you get to the login then from the cli (command line); Code:
~#mkdir /slacktemp #temporary mount point |
ok-thank you!
