Folks;
Due to the lack of other problem reports, I must be doing something really stupid.
After an HDinstall of 3.3 2004-2-9, the system simply says "Error loading Operating System".
On this machine 'hda' is the CD/DVD and 'hdc' is the disk drive. When I look at the /mnt/hdc1/etc/lilo.conf I see that boot=hda. Obviously, lilo can't write a new MBR to the CD.
I have tried to rewrite the MBR by rerunning lilo after a CD boot, but there are numerous permission and other errors.
So how did everyone else get this to work?
