I have copied all Knoppix files to a partition on the hard drive. This partition does not have anything else on it. I also copied the files from boot.img to the root dir of the partition.
I added the following to /etc/lilo.conf and ran lilo:
image = /mnt/cu/vmlinuz
append="lang=en apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi vga=791 quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix"
label = Knoppix
initrd = /mnt/cu/miniroot.gz
root = /dev/hda3
vga = 0x31a
When I ask LILO to boot "Knoppix" the little penguin shows up on the screen (so LILO did find the initial boot files). Then the booter tries to find the cdrom (there is no disk in the drive). It hangs for a while doing that, then some stuff flickers by to fast to read. After that I get the "Can't find Knoppix filesystem" error.
I also used boot.img to create a boot floppy. The same thing happens when I use that to boot.
I have successfully created modified Knoppix CDs so the files I put on the HD are OK.
How can I get the system to boot from a HD partition?
