Re: [LI] Linux boot loader

["betacomp" <betacomp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Copy kernel (vmlinuz-XXXXX) to c: drive in NT.
Use 'loadlin vmlinuz  root=dev/hdax' in dos
where vmlinuz-XXXX is kernel
and hdax is linux partition.
Find linux partition using fdisk -> p in linux.

|Hi lists,
|
|   I 've installed 6.1 in a machine where the NT was loaded.  I just
|formatted the disk and loaded 6.1.  Now the boot loader lilo is not
|functioning.  After booting with floppy if I give /sbin/lilo it is saying
|
|        "Empty map section".
|
| I tried with "fdisk /mbr" also.  It did not work. But if I boot with the
|boot floppy it is functioning fine.
|
|I tried the archieve also.
|
|Please help me.
