To run LILO, you'll need to open a shell as the root user; for this, you might first need to boot from a "rescue" diskette or CDROM. From there, you'll want to mount the root partition (and maybe also the boot partition, depending on your setup), chroot to the root directory, and run lilo. The series of commands you would execute might look something like the following. # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt # chroot /mnt # lilo # reboot or, alternately: # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt # lilo -r /mnt # reboot -- Joel Schneider Yan Xin Qigong in Minneapolis joel at joelschneider.net http://yanxinqigong.minneapolis.mn.us/
