There is even another way to do it. :-)
1. boot from the rescue cd 2. mount /dev/hda3 /mnt (or wherever your root is) 3. /mnt/sbin/lilo -C /mnt/etc/lilo.conf
That's the one I always remember, because it seems straightforward to my way of thinking.
I don't think that will work correctly. If you run lilo that way, it will still install its stuff in /boot, instead of /mnt/boot. The -C option just overrides the use of the default config file, /etc/lilo.conf. You really need the -r option, or do the chroot before invoking lilo.
Well I did forget to add to mount /boot. It's just another way, it works for me; but it's probably not the best solution. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
