- I am trying to install Lilo onto a floppy 1.44 Mb 3.5 inch disk
- before I decide to install it on the hard drive that I boot off of.
- I have followed all the instructions given an have also scoured other
- sources but I still get the same message. (Lilo 0.7):
- (something like)
- "lists the FD parameters which are incorrect because they
- are actually my HD parameters" then ...
- "Expecting version 7. This is version 3 you butthead"
- Well I annotated that a bit, but I says that my boot sector is a
- version 3 and it then dies. I can be more specific about the problem
- if this is not a common mistake out there.
-
- My command line instruction is:
- lilo -b /dev/fd0 -i boot.b -v -v -v /Image
- and I have no config file.
- Thanks out there.
