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.
