loading lilo

If you installed linux and rebooted without receiving lilo, you probably did something wrong... however, if you created the bootdisk during the installation process, you're lucky.
- Boot with the floppy into your linux OS
- log-in with the root account and type lilo at the prompt, this should give you the lilo configuration + options to change it.

After making any chnage sot the kernel, or reconfiguring any boot parameters you would run /sbin/lilo as root to load a new configuration for lilo.

The /etc/lilo.conf file is used by lilo to read the correct boot configuration. Make a backup of this file first, then make any necessary changes to the boot configuration, run /sbin/lilo, and then reboot
