Hi there, just a quick question. As an old slackware user, I usually have a restricted boot with a password in my lilo setup, as well as an entry for the floppy drive in my system- so, the system boots from drive c, hits lilo, and boots linux with the default parameters; if you have the password, you can boot from a floppy or give the kernel evtra parameters. the bios has a password as well. i found that this was a pretty good way to discourage some of the bootfloppy/'linux single'/script kiddie hacker-types around my school. however, with debian (bo), the actual MBR boot block allows you to boot from a different partition, or even a floppy, with no authentication at all- even worse, you access it in the same waym by holding down control during the boot. I noticed that lilo was setup to use /boot/boot.b as default, while slackware always used /boot/any_d.b - but when i tell lilo to use any_d.b (verified as being in /boot), it complains loudly about not finding my /dev/hda1 - any suggestions?
