C.7. Record LILO configuration
Record the current value of append=,
boot= and linear in
/etc/lilo.conf.
Example C-2. Displaying the LILO
configuration
bash# fgrep append= /etc/lilo.conf
append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8"
bash# fgrep boot= /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
bash# fgrep linear /etc/lilo.conf
bash# |
If the boot= parameter points to a hard
disk then LILO is installed in the
master boot record, or MBR. It can also point to
a partition.
If the linear parameter is present then
the hard disk that is booted from uses linear block addressing, or
LBA.
