-C config_file

Specifies an alternate configuration file. See also section 3.1.1.
-s save_file

Specifies an alternate boot sector save file. See also sections 3.1.7 and 3.2.2.
-u device_name

Restores the backup copy of the specified boot sector. If no device is specified, the value of the boot" variable is used. If this one is also unavailable, LILO uses the current root device. The name of the backup copy is derived from the device name. The -s" option or the backup" variable can be used to override this. LILO validates the backup copy by checking a time stamp.
-U device_name

Like -u", but does not check the time stamp.
