5.1) Lilo

Lilo is a boot loader (not system chooser) – It grabs the binary kernel, and puts it in the right place in the RAM for it to work. That is why lilo can be used to load many other OSes. /etc/lilo.conf :

boot=/dev/hda

map=/boot/map

install=/boot/boot.b

default=linux

prompt

timeout=50

message=/boot/message

image=/boot/vmlinuz

        label=old

        root=/dev/hda2

        read-only

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.8-ac12

        label=linux

        root=/dev/hda2

        read-only

other=/dev/fd0

        label=floppy
