hi jack
take me to your leader.... ( just kidding )
i hope you have another linux system....
if you do....and its system is same or close enough...
copy the kernel from that other box to floppy and boot
from floppy
other# dd if=/boot/your_kernel of=/dev/fd0
other# rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda1
- assuming /dev/hda1 is the root partion on "broken" machine
- insert the boot flop intot he broken box ( LIL- )
and when it comes up.....rerun lilo....take the floppy out and
you should be back to normal....( make a boot floppy again of that kernel)
-------
still.... since toms root/boot fails ?? ....make a different root/boot
floppy from debian or slackware...
c ya
alvin
-- other wise....there /usr/doc/lilo* to go reading and poking around
