I have just tried to install Redhat Linux 5.0.  I was already running
OS/2.  I created a partition for Linux successfully before the
installation.  I followed the Redhat installation procedure, and it
appeared to have installed at the time.  I had some problems installing
LILO on the root of the Linux partition, it appeared to install on a
subsequent try, but when I booted via the Boot Manager, it complained
that the partition was not formatted.

Subsequent exploration by booting up with the redhat boot diskette in
rescue mode showed that the file system was, in fact there, and that the
files had indeed been installed, and that apparantly, all that was
missing was LILO from the boot record of the Linux partition.

Is there a way to install LILO on the boot record without doing a
complete install?  I suspect that if I simply re-installed, the same
thing would happen, unless there's a step I am unaware of.

Or, from the rescue disk, mount your partition on '/mnt'.  Then
manually edit '/mnt/etc/lilo.conf'.  Then run 'lilo' with
'lilo -r /mnt'.
