You need to write LILO into the MBR of the first drive. That is
done with the program '/sbin/lilo'. It uses '/etc/lilo.conf'.

Do a 'man lilo.conf', read and understand how it's done,
then you should be able to modify my lilo.conf for your
purpose (or use the one you already have):

boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=25
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35-1
        label=Lao-Sinh
        root=/dev/sdb2
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.35-1.img
        append="mem=64M"
        read-only

(I need the 'append' part due to a brainbead BIOS in this Compaq
box, usually LINUX is able to determine the amount of memory
up to 64 MB by itself. Leave it out, using the wrong number here
can crash your system!)

I hope I was able to help

I have 4 486's that I have put Redhat Linux 5.1 on.  And I can only
boot from the boot diskette because when I try to boot from the HD a
message comes up after the memory test & press DEL to enter BIOS
screen.  The message is "No Rom Basic" or "No Basic Rom" (I think the
first one) and then it just sits there so I have to reboot with the
boot diskette.  Can anybody help me on this one??? I need to have the
problem fixed by Monday.......

Thanks (In Advance)
