If lilo is installed on the harddrive the program not the bootloader on
/dev/hdX's MBR there would be the command lilo under /sbin/lilo or
/usr/sbin/lilo or something like that. If u want to install lilo on MBR of
/dev/hda
simply write as root in a bash lilo /dev/hda. Then if /etc/lilo.conf exsist
and is properly written then everything should be ok.
my lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
default="linux"
keytable=/boot/dk-latin1.klt
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="devfs=mount acpi=off"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="failsafe"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="failsafe devfs=nomount acpi=off"
read-only
other=/dev/fd0
label="floppy"
unsafe
#end of lilo.conf
if lilo is not on your HD then rpm -ivh lilo-something.654.321-54.rpm from
the cd. To run instalation again is overkill (but i also sometime use the
windows user approach and rerun installation to fix something... ;-) )
