Re: LILO question


It looks to me like the info is available, but I don't know how 
to get it... read on.

My output of lilo -q -v -v contains the following:

Images:
  linux           * <dev=0x80,hd=51,cyl=18,sct=84>
    No password
    Boot command-line won't be locked
    VGA mode is taken from boot image
    Kernel is loaded "low"
    No initial RAM disk
    No fallback
    Options: "ro root=303"

So, it looks to me like the kernel is located at
dev=0x80,hd=51,cyl=18,sct=84.  Now all we have to do is
find that.....  Any ideas?

:Hi,
:
:    I'm trying to figure out (remotely) what's been written to the boot
:block of a computer by LILO.  I think that /etc/lilo.conf is out of sync
:with what's actually written to the boot block, and I want to find out
:what's actually written.
:
:    `lilo -q -v -v' tells me most of what I want to know, but it doesn't
:give the pathnames of the kernels.  Is this information available
:somewhere?
