Re: tlug: LILO/Fat32

["Eric S. Standlee" <fwiw3980@example.com>]

I use the Lilo 0.20-2 from the RH5.1 dist and it boots my vfat/fat32 Win95
partition.  I use a lilo bookdisk instead of putting it on my harddrive.
That way, if I take the lilo disk out of a: then it automatically boots to
Windoze so that my wife can play games.

Here is my /etc/lilo.conf:

[root@example.com /etc]# more lilo.conf
boot=/dev/fd0
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34-0.6petra
        label=lin
        root=/dev/hda2
        read-only
other=/dev/hda1
        label=dos
        table=/dev/hda
[root@example.com /etc]# 

Hope this helps,
