I have a machine whose BIOS won't boot from the CD. I would like to
be able to tell LILO at the prompt to boot from the boot partition of
the CD. The CD is on /dev/hdb/ What are the LILO config options for
this?
Many thanks,
David
1. LILO: Booting from CD-ROM (again)
Hi,
Anybody has ever configured lilo to boot an IDE ATAPI CD-ROM drive?
Running lilo gives the following error:
geo_query_dev HDIO_GETGEO (dev 0x1640): Invalid argument
The lilo.conf has the following lines for the CD-ROM:
other=/dev/hdd
label=CDROM
unsafe
A similar setup works for floppy disks. How can I make lilo to boot
any bootable CD-ROM? I should specify some geometry information or use
a different loader? The CD-ROM drive is the slave on the secondary
IDE interface (/dev/hdd).
To my previous post I got some informaition about:
a) how to burn bootable CD-ROMS
b) how to boot linux with lilo
I'm currenty not intrested in these.
Best regards,
Zoltan Kolb
