RE: Putting Windows Boot Loader instead of LILO
this happened to my brother because he asked for lilo to be installed on the
linux partition (the default?) instead of on the mbr. so i went into linux
with the boot diskette that he made during the install and edited
/etc/lilo.conf: i changed /dev/hda1 to /dev/hda at the top. and then i ran
"lilo". try that.

Subject: Putting Windows Boot Loader instead of LILO
I just upgraded my system from RedHat 6.0 to RedHat 6.1. After the upgrade
was complete I realized that the upgrader replaced the Windows Boot loader
with LILO. Not only that, but it only displays the letters LI and gets
stuck.
I normally use loadlin to boot my Linux partition so I'm interested in
having LILO removed. Does anybody know how I can re-install Windows 98's
Boot Loader?
The way I see it - I have another option and it is using a LILO disk. I
have a Windows partition on /dev/hda1 and a Linux partition on /dev/hdc1
and I want Windows to be the default. If anyone can prepare me a LILO disk
with those options and with kernel 2.2.12, I'll be grateful. You can send
the compressed image (for using with dd or rawrite) to
shlomif@t2.technion.ac.il or put it on an FTP site.
BTW, I think we should complain to RedHat that the installer does not ask
you whethere to install LILO or not.
TIA,
Shlomi Fish
