A new map is created for the images described in the configuration file
/etc/lilo.conf and they are registered in the boot sector.

by --
=/sbin/lilo













by
- -b boot_device
-
Specifies the boot device. See also sections 3.1.7 and 3.2.2.
- -c
-
Enables map compaction. See also sections 3.1.7 and 3.2.2.
- -C config_file
-
Specifies an alternate configuration file. See also section 3.1.1.
- -d delay
-
Sets the delay before LILO boots the default image. Note that the
delay is specified in tenths of a second. See also sections 3.1.7 and 3.2.2.
- -f disk_tab
-
Specifies a disk parameter table file. See also sections 3.1.7 and 3.2.2.
- -i boot_sector
-
Specifies an alternate boot file. See also sections 3.1.7 and 3.2.2.
- -l
-
Enables linear sector addresses. See also sections 3.1.7 and 3.2.2.
- -m map_file
-
Specifies an alternate map file. See also sections 3.1.7 and 3.2.2.
- -P mode
-
Specifies how invalid partition table entries should be handled. See also sections 3.1.7 and 3.2.2.
- -r root_directory
-
Chroots to the specified directory before doing anything else. This is
useful when running the map installer while the normal root file system
is mounted somewhere else, e.g. when recovering from an installation
failure with a recovery disk. The -r option is implied if
the environment variable ROOT is set.
The current directory is changed to the new root directory, so using
relative paths may not work.
- -s save_file
-
Specifies an alternate boot sector save file. See also sections 3.1.7 and 3.2.2.
- -S save_file
-
Like -s, but overwrites old save file.
- -t
-
Test only. This performs the entire installation procedure except
replacing the map file, writing the modified boot sector and fixing
partition tables. This
can be used in conjunction with the -v option to verify that
LILO will use sane values.
- -v
-
Increase verbosity. See also sections 3.1.7 and 3.2.2.
