Re: [PLUG] Blew away my MBR and lilo<<Help needed!
|
If you boot from the CD ROM then you will have to mount your root
partition somewhere (like /mnt). If you do that, you need to
run lilo using the root directory command like this (as I recall):
lilo -C /mnt/etc/lilo.conf -r /mnt
>From the lilo man page:
-r root-directory
Before doing anything else, do a chroot to the indicated directory.
Used for repairing a setup from a boot floppy.
Best of luck.
