<title>Configuring Lilo</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
We're not going to create lilo's configuration file from scratch, but we'll
|
|
use the file from your normal Linux system. This file is different on every
|
|
machine and thus I can't create it here. Since you would want to have the
|
|
same options regarding lilo as you have when you're using your normal Linux
|
|
system you would create the file exactly as it is on the normal system.

<para>
|
|
Copy the Lilo configuration file and kernel images that Lilo uses by
|
|
running the following commands from a shell on your normal Linux system.
|
|
Don't execute these commands from your chroot'ed shell.

<blockquote><literallayout>

<userinput>cp /etc/lilo.conf $LFS/etc</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>cp /boot/<kernel images> $LFS/boot</userinput>

Before you can execute the second command you need to know the names of
|
|
the kernel images. You can't just copy all files from the /boot
|
|
directory. The /etc/lilo.conf file contains the names of the kernel
|
|
images you're using. Open the file and look for lines like this:

|

<blockquote><literallayout>
|
|
|
|
image=/boot/vmlinuz

</literallayout></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Look for all <emphasis>image</emphasis> variables and their values
|
|
represent the name and location of the image files. These files will
|
|
usually be in /boot but they might be in other directories as well,
|
|
depending on your distribution's conventions.
