- I used LILO 0.7 with no problems. In fact, I was very pleased that I
- could tell the DOS emulator to use my DOS partition as C: and it did.
- LILO would crank up and after the delay, would boot DOS from the hard
- drive. (The first time, the default was Linux & LILO tried to run
- Linux. It didn't work. :-)
-
- When I installed 0.8, it complained about my having > 1024 cylinders. I
- changed the die to a warning and it works just fine with .99.2 .98.1 and
- DOS. Unfortunately, the DOS emulator hangs now after LILO cranks up &
- never boot DOS. Being able to boot straight from my hard drive was
- sorta nice.
