Use a boot disk to mount your system, or reinstall.

wag: put "linear" in the first section of /etc/lilo.conf

Carl

from man lilo.conf

 linear Generate  linear  sector  addresses instead of sec-
              tor/head/cylinder addresses. Linear  addresses  are
              translated  at  run  time and do not depend on disk
              geometry. Note that boot disks may not be  portable
              if  `linear'  is  used, because the BIOS service to
              determine the disk geometry does not work  reliably
              for  floppy  disks.  When using `linear' with large
              disks, /sbin/lilo may generate references to  inac-
              cessible  disk  areas,  because 3D sector addresses
              are not known before boot time.

morning I installed the same thing on another computer. On this one I
installed it as custom. Afterwards, when I tried to boot, all I got was "LI"
scrolling on my screen. What did I do wrong?
