Please verify Brock. Suggestion: If an LS-120 drive is detected and no floppy drive is detected, the user should be prompted to insert a >1.44MB floppy< for bootdisk (NOT LS-120 disk), and LILO is put on with the proper BIOS and CHS parameters (disk=/dev/hda\n bios=0x80\n cylinders=...\n heads=...\n sectors=...). BTW: I once put an old distro (6.1, I think) an an LS-120 disk by itself. Freaky, huh? reassigning these to dale for further review ... I have verified that if your only floppy is a LS-120 you are not able to create a bootdisk. I can't make a boot floppy work in our ls120 at all. I've done: drive=/dev/hdd bios=0x00 heads=2 cylinders=80 sectors=18 I've tried w/ and w/o the geometry, w/ and w/o linear. In all cases, lilo stops after lil. mkbootdisk 1.3 uses syslinux rather then lilo, and seems to work fine |
