[olug] Lilo

[Jonathan Warren]

for mbr use the device that represents the drive.
boot = /dev/hda
if you want to install on a boot device juse use the drive name and make sure it is the only partition set as bootable in fdisk or cfdisk.
boot = /dev/hda5

       boot=<boot-device>
              Sets  the  name  of the device (e.g. a hard disk partition)
              that contains the boot sector. If this keyword is  omitted,
              the  boot sector is read from (and possibly written to) the
              device that is currently mounted as root.  A raid installa-
              tion  is initiated by specifying a RAID1 device as the boot
              device; e.g., "boot=/dev/md0".  Note that LILO version 22.0
              and  later  operate  diffenently from earlier versions with
              respect to the actual location of the boot records.
