Hi all, my linux keeps asking to boot from the floppy instead of the hd. How can I change the MBR to boot to hd?

Thanx

Kenny

You can install lilo in the MBR with

/sbin/lilo -b /dev/hda

Good luck

Not having installed Linux yet, I know what my opinion is worth. But go to linux.org and compare the merits of LILO v. GRUB. I think they do the same thing, but wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong.
