You must run liloconfig or liloconfig-color, and config lilo to bott from
MBR, add linux and dos(win95) partitions.
in case somethring goes wrong, use following file as /etc/lilo.conf, and
run lilo. NOTE - you must edit the file and tell it where linux and dos
partitions reside. You can find it out by running fdisk and asking it to
print the partition information.
here comes the file:
---------------------------------------------------------------
# LILO configuration file
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
delay = 50 #measured in centi-seconds
vga = normal # force sane state
# ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda5 # INSERT YOUR LINUX PARTITION HERE
label = linux # change it as you wish
read-only # in order to allow fsck to check the partition at runtime
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# DOS bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1 #INSERT YOUR DOS (WIN95) PARTITION HERE
label = dos # change it as you wish also
table = /dev/hda
# DOS bootable partition config ends
