My default 7.2 installation puts lilo on the the root partition (hdb4) and puts something on a floppy which presumably points to lilo. To solve another problem I need to boot from the lilo prompt but the SuSE boot menu doesn't seem to allow for this. Anyone got any ideas?
Rafael If you read this I am trying carry out your instructions for ide-scsi
Could you rephrase your question - I'm not clear on what you're asking... I'm not sure what you mean about the 'SuSE boot menu' either... If you are refering to the graphical screen where you select which OS/kernel to boot, then if you press the escape key you will exit the graphical screen and get back to the LILO prompt, where you can type any kernel parameters. If you find LILO working to your satisfaction in terms of booting 'other' operating systems, you might consider installing LILO in the MBR so that you don't have to use the floppy any more.
