[PLUG] LILO help


Hi all,

 I had a drive that I was using on an add-on promise ultra 100 card. I
updated my motherboard and now I want to scrap that board and boot from
the drive mounted as hda on the motherboard controller (it had been hdf
on the promise)

I booted using the SUSE boot disk into rescue. I mounted the drive's root
under /mnt. I edited the fstab values to change  HDF's to HDA's.

Then I attempted to run lilo. I had to specify a -r option because I was
operating under /mnt. The error I get is the it "Does not know how to
handle device 0x0102"

I can manually mount the partitions on this drive. How can I now get it to
boot? Make a boot disk?  I have a boot CD and floppy I made for the HDFx
configuration but obviously that does not work here.

Doug
