Booting and Boot Managers
Linux part (Linux — Safe Settings)
Even if you installed a customized kernel, you are still able to boot
the SUSE standard kernel.
.
optional
If you decide to delete /boot/vmlinuz.shipped (not recom-
mended), this section is skipped without an error message during
LILO installation.
Other systems
.
other=partition
other tells LILO to start the partitions of other systems (e.g.,
/dev/hda1).
.
label=name
Select a name for the system. This is recommended, because the
default — the raw device name — is not very informative.
Memory Test
Entry for the memory test program memtest86.
This section merely covers the basic entries required in /etc/lilo.conf.
Other useful settings can be found in the man page man lilo.conf.
8.5.3 Installing and Uninstalling LILO
Caution
Booting Other Operating Systems
Before you install LILO, make sure that any other existing oper-
ating systems can be booted from floppy disk (not possible for
Windows XP, 2000, or NT). In particular, make sure fdisk is avail-
able. As far as SUSE LINUX is concerned, use the installation CD
or DVD as a fallback boot medium.
