lilo troubles of my own
I'm trying to install on a server here. The machine has a Tekram
(sym8xxx) SCSI card, and an IBM LVD scsi drive. I low-leveled the drive
(ala Tekram support). I installed Linux, it didn't boot. I installed
dos, it didn't boot. Under dos I did fdisk /mbr, and then DOS booted
(the lowlevel wiped the MBR). I re-installed Linux and it still won't
boot. I don't get LI, I don't get LO...I get Missing Operating System.
If I can boot dos from the HDD, then this is a LILO problem, right? I
told Smackware setup to write LILO to the MBR, and I refreshed lilo
after I installed the kernel...what gives?
