Switching Linux boot point?

[fow99]

Hi all,

I have LILO installed on my mbr. Now it is rewritten by Win2000. What I want to do is to re-install LILO on the Linux partition instead of mbr so that I can use the boot menu of Windows 2000. How do I do that?

Just change the line boot=/dev/hda in your /etc/lilo.conf file to boot=/dev/hda1 and run /sbin/lilo.
This assumes that lilo is currently installed in the mbr of the first ide harddisk and that /dev/hda1 is your linux root partition. Change it to something appropriate.
