# block. It can be either a partition, or the raw device, in which

# Enable map compaction:
# Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single

# because it doesn't always work.

# You can set a password here, and uncomment the `restricted' lines
# in the image definitions below to make it so that a password must
# be typed to boot anything but a default configuration. If a
# command line is given, other than one specified by an `append'
# statement in `lilo.conf', the password will be required, but a
# standard default boot will not require one.
#
# This will, for instance, prevent anyone with access to the
# console from booting with something like `Linux init=/bin/sh',
# and thus becoming `root' without proper authorization.
#
# Note that if you really need this type of security, you will
# likely also want to use `install-mbr' to reconfigure the MBR
# program, as well as set up your BIOS to disallow booting from
# removable disk or CD-ROM, then put a password on getting into the
# BIOS configuration as well. Please RTFM `install-mbr(8)'.

# wait before booting the first image.

# You can put a customized boot message up if you like. If you use
# `prompt', and this computer may need to reboot unattended, you
# must specify a `timeout', or it will sit there forever waiting
# for a keypress. `single-key' goes with the `alias' lines in the

Note: I have grub2 boot loaders in the MBR's of the two sata hard drives
which I knew as sda and sdb and lilo on the MBR of the ata drive which I
knew as hda. The grub2 installation recommended putting the loader in
all MBR's but problem with linux-base made it impossible to boot with
grub. The lilo boot still worked and the linux-base problem was
resolved when all references to the cdrom and usb drives was removed
from fstab. The 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel is apparently too large for lilo.
