    I cannot boot KNOPPIX on HD!

    I just followed "http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqHdBased
    section 1.2"
    After I used the command "lilo -C /mnt/hda3/boot/lilo.conf",
    Knoppix responded me "Can't open /mnt/hda ....".
    I wonder what the problem is.
    I already checked "lilo.conf", but I couldn't find anything wrong.
    Thus I can't reboot without CD-ROM or Floppy.
    Please give me some advice.
    Thanks.

    My laptop is IBM X22.
    I have only one hard disk.
    Partitions are as follows:
    hda1: FAT 32
    hda2: linux swap
    hda3: linux ext3
    hda5(logical): FAT 32

    Salve TYRO,

    I wrote this text, because it worked on my Laptop.

    >I just followed "http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqHdBased
    >section 1.2"
    >After I used the command "lilo -C /mnt/hda3/boot/lilo.conf",
    >Knoppix responded me "Can't open /mnt/hda ....".

    I found a small mistake, I wrote to link /mnt/hda3/boot to /
    >>- ln -sf /mnt/ha3/boot/ /
    >>
    >>Lilo has to write to /boot/map. Because the CD-ROM is read only this
    >>faild. So link the new /mnt/ha3/boot/ directory over /boot. But
    >>aware to use full pathnames and use only "/" as linkname.
    instead of ha3 it must be hda3. Sorry, I have corret the wiki now.

    >I wonder what the problem is.
    When this was not the reson for you problem I have another idea,
    after linking /mnt/hda3/boot to / you could try to use
    - ln -sf /mnt/hda3/boot/ /
    lilo -C /boot/lilo.conf

    This seams that you use your laptop together with Windows.
    I don't know if this make trouble for/with lilo. (I'm not
    experianced with using lilo and Windows)

    So I the idea with "lilo -C /boot/lilo.conf" helps.
