Lilo not available when booting.

[casacruz at bellatlantic.net (John J. Cruz)]

Jerry,

Red Hat Linux 8.0 comes with lilo ver. 21.4-4 installed.  The latest
Lilo version is 22.3.2 which I installed  and used the -M option. 
Unfortunately it did not work.  Thanks for all your help.  Currently I'm
using the boot up diskette to boot up, cumbersome but reliable.

John

    No it is an upper case M nor a lower case m.
    --------- From the man page
          -m map-file
                  Use specified map file instead of the default.
    
           -M master-device [ mbr-file ]
                  Install a Master Boot Record on the device specified as
    master-device.  The  new  MBR  is
                  copied  by  default from "mbr.b", which is built into
    /sbin/lilo (version 22.3), unless a
                  specific file is named as the second argument.  The
    primary partition  table  on  master-
                  device  is  undistrubed.   If  no  device serial number is
    present, then generate one and
                  write it to the MBR.
