Re: SuSe 6.3
Apart from sucking or otherwise, there is a bug in the SuSE 6.3 GUI installation
which prevents
lilo from writing the boot sector of a logical drive. A note to this effect
comes with the official distribution.
The workaround is to either use the old style text mode installation (adequate),
or simply repeat the last stage of the lilo install using the yast utility. You
must of course make a boot diskette along the way if you don't already have one.
And while on SuSE 6.2/3, their create an emergency boot diskette via yast does
not work. The workaround
is to use the manual procedure described in the 6.3 manual on pp. 118.
