This reminds me of problems I've had when I've attempted to clone the filesystems from one disk onto another. After mkfs-ing the partitions, mounting them in the structure I want (under /mnt, say), and copying the files over, I generally do a chroot to the target directory, edit the lilo.conf (replacing, say, hda with hdc for the boot=foo directive), and running lilo. Then I undo the changes so it will be right when I boot off the new disk. However, whenever I've done this, I get that blasted "LI010101010101..." stuff upon boot after I switch the cabling, so I end up having to boot off a floppy or CD-ROM and fix it. Would using lilo's -b switch be the proper way to do this? -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ Developer/SysAdmin for hire!
