Howto install LILO on hard driver.

Aug 27, 2003 0 Replies

Hi everyone,



I have created bootable ISO CD (with isolinux.bin) and started Linux with it. Then I formated my hard driver /dev/hda, created a new root file system on it.



How can I make my hard-driver bootable?



I tried to use the lilo command to install LILO on it, but it didn't work properly. When I rebooted the system from hard-driver, the system has the exact mounting configuration as I called the lilo command, e.g. the / is mounted on /dev/ram0. But I want to mount / to /dev/hda1.



Is there another way to make a hard driver bootable?



Thanks in advance,



James X. Li
