Im reinstalling my LILO because i dont want to choose between DOS (i installed from dos) and LINUX and i dont have a monitor on the box..
and this showed up:
LILO INSTALL ERROR # 1
Sorry, but the attempt to install LILO has returned an
error, so LILO has not been correctly installed. You'll
have to use a bootdisk to start your machine instead.
It should still be possible to get LILO working by
editing the /etc/lilo.conf and reinstalling LILO
manually. See the LILO man page and documentation in
/usr/doc/lilo/ for more help.
Assuming it's already on your box, simply comment out the corresponding entry to DOS in /etc/lilo.conf and then run:
/sbin/lilo -v
to save the changes (after saving the file /etc/lilo.conf) to your MBR.
If you don't have a monitor how do you access the box? Assuming SSH, then this shouldn't be a problem. If you have questions please post up your /etc/lilo.conf file (if one exists). IF you don't have one, use liloconfig to set one up.
