Where is /boot? The kernel image (and, I think, the LILO map file, /boot/map) usually needs to be in the first 504 Mb for the BIOS to be able to find it. Try moving your kernel image and /boot/map to a directory on your DOS partition and rerunning LILO. For example (assuming /dos is your mounted DOS partition): mkdir /dos/boot.lnx cp /vmlinuz /dos/boot.lnx/vmlinuz mv /vmlinuz /vmlinuz.backup ln -s /dos/boot.lnx/vmlinuz /vmlinuz cp /boot/map /dos/boot.lnx/map mv /boot/map /boot/map.backup ln -s /dos/boot.lnx/map /boot/map lilo (I hope LILO didn't need anything else than the kernel image and /boot/map in the first 504 Mb. Someone reply to this and tell us? :)) >Also I was trying to use dselect to do the install from Yggdrasil Winter 97 >CD collection's Debian 1.1 i386 distribution. dselect asked me to "enter >the block device name" what I suppose to enter. If it asked you that after you chose "cdrom" as the installation method, I think it's asking for the device name of the CD-ROM drive (/dev/sonycd or whatever it is)... -- -=- Rjs -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
