Config file
You forgot to uninstall lilo from the master boot record of your hard drive when you switched the boot device from /dev/hda to /dev/hda1. If you have a DOS boot floppy (or a bootable Windows CD-ROM) or have DOS or Windows installed on another partition, you can run the DOS fdisk command with the switch /mbr to install a normal master boot record instead of the lilo master boot record your hard disk currently has. The other option is to switch the boot= device from /dev/hda1 back to /dev/hda. |
