Dear Mads, Here is the /etc/lilo.conf from the machine I can't change: boot = /dev/sdb1 vga = normal read-only menu-scheme = Wg:kw:Wg:Wg prompt timeout = 80 message = /boot/message image = /boot/vmlinuz_24 label = linux_2.4 root = /dev/sdb3 initrd = /boot/initrd_24 image = /boot/vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/sdb3 initrd = /boot/initrd optional image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse label = suse root = /dev/sdb3 initrd = /boot/initrd.suse optional other = /dev/sda1 label = windows image = /boot/memtest.bin label = memtest86 This is the order I WANT, but it is not the order displayed!!

[May 10. 2001 14:06]: 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?
Could you enclose the lilo.conf in question?
