I installed potato on a friend's computer using the CDs and foolishly disregarded the warning telling me the kernel must reside on the first 1024 cylinders. The computer is question is a Pentium 90 with a 10 gig disk, a 2 gig disk and a preexisting Windows 95 installation. I was installing Debian on a couple of unpartitioned gigs at the end of the drive.
On boot, now, LILO gets to `LIL' and then quits. I would very much like to restore this system to bootable status without any loss of (Windows) data. Any suggestions on my best course of action? I have access to a Windows machine with net access, the Debian rescue disk, Debian CDs, and a Windows 95 boot disk. Please send replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sincerely, Jonathan Pearce
