Hi,
My LILO installed on a floppy disk stops on "LI"
The README file says this is either a problem with geometry or that map
installer needs to be run.
How do I run map installer. I assume it's not a geometry problem since
I'm doing it from a floppy. Still, I'm just guessing.
Thanks.

===========================================================
The line that reads "linear" tells LILO to address the HD "linearly" and
forgo LBA addressing. The two sections for the geometry of the two
different disks should be self-explanatory. Most users can get the
information from their CMOS BIOS on bootup.
