I (finally) finished installing Linux into my computer at home, and ran
across a (another) problem.  I wanted to be able to boot into Linux via
floppy drive instead of my master disk (C:), install went fine, and it made
my boot floppy, then asked me to press enter to re-boot.  I rebooted to
discover that my LILO on A:\ must not be correct or is corrupt... when the
machine booted up, it got as far as reading my HD's then... LI_  The cursor
never made it beyond the "I"... How can I edit or configure my LILO w/o
having to re-install anything?  I am able to boot up using my initial
boot-up disk and 2 image disks.  I can cancel out of the installation
process at that time and get to the "#" prompt, but there is where I get
stuck... What do I do now?
