Description Jos Vos 2000-07-30 18:34:50 UTC
When adding the following entry to a standard lilo.conf file, I get an
error message saying "TABLE and UNSAFE are mutually incompatible":

other=/dev/hda2
        label=hda2
        unsafe

I didn't put any table entries though...

I am using lilo-21.4.4-8, which is the most recent, and this is my lilo.conf
file, and I have no problems with this.
