I screwed up my MBR so I want to install LILO into it. But when I try to install it using KLILO, it says 'LILO died, Syntax error in /etc/lilo.conf near Line 9'. Why is this happening to me? :-(

BTW I also tried installing on to a floppy and the same thing happpened.

Could be you have a syntax error in line 9 of your lilo.conf.

Post the contents of /etc/lilo.conf if you need help.

the "image=" line should point to your kernel image. Mine is /vmlinuz so that line in lilo.conf is "image=/vmlinuz"

Now it says /vmlinuz is missing! :(

Probably needs to be:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
