LILO error: Can only boot from floppy, LILO will only start dos not linux

LILO error: Can only boot from floppy, LILO will only start dos not linux

Post by Dan Maitz » Wed, 05 Apr 1995 04:00:00



After installing LILO to the MBR it gives me the following error when
trying to boot linux:  error 0x09!  Dos anyone know what it is trying to
tell me?  My linux partitions are /dev/hdb2 and /dev/hdb3 (swap:
/dev/hdb1).  When I check out the partition tables in fdisk
/dev/hdb2 (root partition) does not have an asteric in the boot colum.  
Is that the problem and how do I fix it.

Refer to my post in comp.os.linux.devel.system / search for ATAPI
I get the same error, and it is a conflict with my ATAPI CDROM.

I just installed SLS .99p9 on my system and I went ahead and installed
LILO.  

1.      How do you uninstall it if you no longer want it?

2.      ...or how do I boot my DOS partition once it is installed?
