Floppy boot

["Ian Wright" <nospam [at] iw63.freeserve.co.uk>]

Hi,

I'm struggling to get linux up and running on a computer and every time I
try I get Lilo failing at the LI bit. I have found a tutorial on the net
which says this is quite a common problem with some of the newer hard drives
and recommends fixing it by inserting the line 'linear' into lilo.conf.
Fine, but how do I get at lilo.conf on the hard disk if I am booting from a
floppy? I tried to 'mount /dev/hda' as a first guess but the floppy linux
said that it couldn't find it in fstab. Help!!!

Ian
