I'm trying to install RH 4.0. I've come across a problem. After going
through nearly all of the installation, I cannot get LILO to install.
Here is what I have done:
choose to install LILO to the MBR on hda.
The next window that pops up says that the install of LILO failed. It
asks if I want to retry. Then I retry and the retrial fails. Then I
check the VC5 and see an error message which states:
Must specify LOADER for BIOS device 0x81.
This error message is printed for the inital lilo installation trial and
for each retrial.
Does anybody know what may have gone wrong?
I have two hard drives--one is on hda (Western Digital, 1.6 GB), it is the
first drive. A second drive is on hdb (Conner, 270 MB). I have an
Award BIOS.
