Configuring
Configuration strongly depends on individual setups. Please refer to the man-pages on how to apply the mandatory configuration file /etc/lilo.conf appropriately. The following is an example configuration file for a system with these characteristics:
- two SCSI harddisks
- system on sdb
- root filesystem on sdb3
- bootloader in MBR of first disk (sda)
- two bootable kernel images
- menu for bootloader
# Begin /etc/lilo.conf boot=/dev/sda lba32 install = menu menu-scheme=Gb:Gk:Gb:Yb menu-title=" My Bootmenu " read-only vga = normal prompt timeout=30 image = /boot/smp64-2.6.23.13-25.06.2008 root = /dev/sdb3 label = SMP64-25.06.08 image = /boot/smp64-2.6.23.13-14.04.2008 root = /dev/sdb3 label = SMP64-14.04.08 # End /etc/lilo.conf
After creation of /etc/lilo.conf you need to run /sbin/lilo once.
Note
Take care of possible error messages or you will leave your system unbootable!
