Apologies for sending this again,
but I again found that my email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
as received by me via the digest version
cutoff my last section of my reply.
I dont know whether it didnt get sent out of hotmail correctly
(i received a copy i sent to myself but that is internal to hotmail),
or whether the redhat mailer messed it up.
I also dont know if subscribers to the nondigest form of redhat-list
also got the truncated version.

in any case here is /only/ the missing piece,
my verbal explanation of my example lilo.conf:

this type of dual rootfs setup works for me,
in my case two versions of redhat5.2

for one of my rootfs /boot resides outside of /, similar to  your case
and no trouble results.

I don't need to use a bootfloppy

lilo can be run (if necessary) when booted up in either 5.2 or 6.1

In this method I do have to keep parallel lilo.conf
one under /rh6.1/etc  and the other under /rh5.2/etc
but this is not hard to keep consistent with any future changes.

at any given time
one or the other of the two rootfs is mounted as /
with the other mounted under a directory with its identifying label

once working,
the rootfs that isn't being used as /
doesnt have to be mounted at all,
unless you want it mounted to be accessible for examination
or  wanting to rerun lilo ...

this way the other rootfs has some degree of protection


regards
Jack
