Dear John, mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy gets "mount point /mnt/floppy does not exist" mount /dev/fd0 /floppy gets "you must specify filesystem type" What is on your lilo boot floppy? lilo.conf perhaps? PeterB basslake wrote:

Greetings to SuSEers,
I have two SuSE 7.1 systems; one has LILO on the MBR of HD, the other has NT4 so LILO created a LILO Boot diskette. I have been able to re-arrange the order of boot choices on the LILO graphical screen on the LILO on HD MBR system as shown on the SDB ( edit /etc/lilo.conf, then issue 'lilo' from cmd line). But when I re-arrange the choices on the diskette sys and rerun lilo the boot screen is in the old order. I must assume that there is something on the lilo diskette that must be changed to re-arrange the boot order. However I am unable to mount the lilo diskette, the sys error says "you must specify the filesystem"; but this is from a "mount /floppy" cmd issued from console. I CAN mount msdos diskettes w/o error. Can any one help me understand what I need to do to change the order of boot choices on this system?
Thanks ................... PeterB
