- I tried to install Lilo on my system. I followed exactly what the doc's said, but
- when I tried to reboot, my system died. I would get messages saying - unable to
- load...., etc, and the screen scrolls continuously. When I pressed TAB, I simply got a . as available load devices. (that is a single period)
-
- How do I backup and (NOT) start all over again? I can still boot my system using
- the 'original' MCC disks, and can mount all of my drives, etc.
- Should I just rewrite the floppy's boot record? Or should I replace the Image file?
-
- Someone help me please.
