Using YAST2 the installer put LILO on a floppy. On another system LILO went on the MBR.
On the LILO on MBR system I was arrange the order of the listed LILO options by editing /etc/lilo.conf, but on the sys that has a LILO boot floppy editing the /etc/lilo.conf does NOT change the screen order at the lilo prompt screen. Must something on that floppy be edited? I have not been able to mount that floppy from root logon; is there something special about that lilo boot diskette?

2 possibilities I can think of: 1) Faulty floppy -- did the failed mount message say something about "can't read superblock"? If not, any other messages? 2) <teaching grandma to suck eggs> Did you run lilo after editing /etc/lilo.conf and after mounting the floppy? </teach> -- Never trust a man in a suit -- cll
