Releases: 4.2
Platform: intel
Category:  Booting and LILO
Category Listing:  how do I run linux from the hard drive?

Issue

During the installation when I am asked "where do want to install 
the bootloader", I answered the linux partition...but it doesn't boot. 
If I put the boot loader on the floppy, I get LIL- when it tries 
to boot...How do I run linux from the hard drive? and/or How do fix 
the 'LIL-' problem?

Response

If linux is the only OS on the HDD, install LILO to the Master 
Boot Record (MBR), otherwise, check out the LILO-Howto file, this will 
explain how to add other entries.
