Hi David: Did you try running the command makebootdisk as root? If so, I'm not sure what the problem is. My Linux partition is on /dev/hda3, but, here's the lilo.conf file from my boot disk (hopefully modified correctly). ----------Cut Here---------- boot = /dev/fd0 message=/boot/message prompt image = /vmlinuz label = mount ramdisk = 0 root = /dev/hda1 vga = normal read-only
