Thanks for the info on LILO. So far I have had no luck. I can make a basic
boot disk by dd'ing the kernel to it and rdev'ing the root partition but I
cannot get it to boot from the hard drive.
Once I booted normally from the floppy I changed the boot location in
lilo.conf to /dev/hda. After running LILO, which ran normally, it would
not boot from the hard drive. This should have written to the MBR.
This drive was partitioned with SUSE Yast2 and I have no primary
partitions? When I manually run fdisk I see all the partitions, the first
is hda, which lists the entire drive, and then hda5 through hda11, which
are all logical. hda5 is a small boot, hda6 is swap, hda7 is root, etc.
When I use the fdisk toggle boot command it complains about being an
extended partition or some such thing but still marks it.
My bios at boot just messages like there is nothing on the hard drive.
I will look into GRUB. I am using 7.3 SUSE.
