Salve TYRO,

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

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

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.
