I just got a new computer, and partitioned hda1 for windows, hda2 for linux. I installed debian on hda2 (which installed lilo and created a lilo.conf that boots directly into it). I then installed windows xp pro on hda1. After I installed windows it boots directly into windows. I would like to set lilo up so I can choose between them.
I booted into the cd and typed lilo,
It asks me to edit the /etc/lilo.conf, and ive know idea what to put there.
There is already a lilo.conf in hda2, so I added:
other=/dev/hda2
label=Windows
at the end and left the rest unchanged. I then ran:
lilo -C /mnt/hda2/etc/lilo.conf
And it says:
Fatal: /boot/map~ Read only file system.
I would try using some more options on lilo, but I really dont want to mess up anything. Can anyone give me some easy to follow instructions to set lilo up after booting from the knoppix cd? Im real confused by it and I cant find a tutorial anywhere.
