-b <boot_device>         Specifies the boot device. See also sections "Options corresponding to     configuration variables" and "Global options".    -c         Enables map compaction. See also sections "Options corresponding to     configuration variables" and "Global options".    -C <config_file>         Specifies an alternate configuration file. See also section "Show     current installation".    -d <delay>         Sets the delay before LILO boots the default image. Note that the     delay is specified in _tenths_ of a second. See also sections "Options     corresponding to configuration variables" and "Global options".    -D <name>         Specifies the default image. See also sections "Options corresponding     to configuration variables" and "Global options".    -f <disk_tab>         Specifies a disk parameter table file. See also sections "Options     corresponding to configuration variables" and "Global options".    -i <boot_sector>         Specifies an alternate boot file. See also sections "Options     corresponding to configuration variables" and "Global options".    -L         Enables lba32 sector addresses. See also sections "Options     corresponding to configuration variables" and "Global options".    -l         Enables linear sector addresses. See also sections "Options     corresponding to configuration variables" and "Global options".    -m <map_file>         Specifies an alternate map file. See also sections "Options     corresponding to configuration variables" and "Global options".    -P <mode>         Specifies how invalid partition table entries should be handled. See     also sections "Options corresponding to configuration variables" and     "Global options".    -r <root_directory>         Chroots to the specified directory before doing anything else. This is     useful when running the map installer while the normal root file system     is mounted somewhere else, e.g. when recovering from an installation     failure with a recovery disk. The  -r  option is implied if the     environment variable  ROOT  is set.* The current directory is changed     to the new root directory, so using relative paths may not work.    -s <save_file>         Specifies an alternate boot sector save file. See also sections     "Options corresponding to configuration variables" and "Global     options".    -S <save_file>         Like  -s , but overwrites old save files.    -t         Test only. This performs the entire installation procedure except     replacing the map file, writing the modified boot sector and fixing     partition tables. This can be used in conjunction with the  -v  option     to verify that LILO will use sane values.    -v ...         Increase verbosity. See also sections "Options corresponding to     configuration variables" and "Global options".   *  E.g. if your root partition is mounted on /mnt, you can update the map     by simply running  ROOT=/mnt /mnt/sbin/lilo Change default command line- - - - - - - - - - - - - -Changes LILO's default command line. See also section "Boot image selection".  /sbin/lilo [ -C <config_file> ] [ -m <map_file> ] -R [ <word> ... ]     -C <config_file>         Specifies an alternate configuration file. See also section "Show     current installation".    -m <map_file>         Specifies an alternate map file. See also sections "Options     corresponding to configuration variables" and "Global options".    -R <word ...>         Stores the specified words in the map file. The boot loader uses those     words as the default command line when booting the next time. That     command line is removed from the map file by the boot loader by     overwriting the sector immediately after reading it. The first word has     to be the name of a boot image. If  -R  is not followed by any words,     the current default command line in the map file is erased.* If the     command line isn't valid, the map installer issues an error message and     returns a non-zero exit code.   *   -R  is typically used in reboot scripts, e.g.     #!/bin/sh     cd /     /sbin/lilo -R "$*" && rebootKernel name translation- - - - - - - - - - - -Determines the path of the kernel.  /sbin/lilo [ -C <config_file> ] -I <name> [ <options> ]     -C <config_file>         Specifies an alternate configuration file. See also section "Show     current installation".    -I <name> [ <options> ]         Translates the specified label name to the path of the corresponding     kernel image and prints that path on standard output. This can be used     to synchronize files that depend on the kernel (e.g. the ps database).     The image name can be obtained from the environment variable      BOOT_IMAGE . An error message is issued and a non-zero exit code is     returned if no matching label name can be found. The existence of the     image file is verified if the option character  v  is added. De-installation- - - - - - - -Restores the boot sector that was used before the installation of LILO. Note that this option only works properly if LILO's directories (e.g. /boot) have not been touched since the first installation. See also section "LILO de-installation".  /sbin/lilo [ -C <config_file> ] [ -s <save_file> ] -u | -U [     <boot_device> ]     -C <config_file>         Specifies an alternate configuration file. See also section "Show     current installation".    -s <save_file>         Specifies an alternate boot sector save file. See also sections     "Options corresponding to configuration variables" and "Global     options".    -u [ <device_name> ]         Restores the backup copy of the specified boot sector. If no device is     specified, the value of the boot variable is used. If this one is also     unavailable, LILO uses the current root device. The name of the backup     copy is derived from the device name. The -s option or the backup     variable can be used to override this. LILO validates the backup copy     by checking a time stamp.    -U [ <device_name> ]         Like -u, but does not check the time stamp.

Values are usually case-sensitive,     but there are a few exceptions. (See below.)   - tabs and newlines are special characters and may not be part of a     variable name or a value. The use of other control characters and     non-ASCII characters is discouraged.   - blanks and equal signs may only be part of a variable name or a value     if they are escaped by a backslash or if the value is embedded in     double quotes. An equal sign may not be the only character in a name or     value.   - an escaped tab is converted to an escaped blank. An escaped newline is     removed from the input stream. An escaped backslash (i.e. two     backslashes) is converted to a backslash. Inside quoted strings, only     double quotes, backslashes, dollar signs, and newlines can be escaped.   - quoted strings can be continued over several lines by ending each     incomplete line with a backslash. A single space is inserted in the     string for the line end and all spaces or tabs that follow immediately     on the next line.   - environment variables can be used by specifying them in the form     $<name> or ${<name>}. Dollar signs can be escaped.   - comments begin with a number sign and end with the next newline. All     characters (including backslashes) until the newline are ignored. Example:boot = $FDinstall = $MNT/boot.bmap = $MNT/mapcompactread-onlyappend = "nfsroot=/home/linux-install/root \  nfsaddrs=128.178.156.28:128.178.156.24::255.255.255.0:lrcinst"image = $MNT/zImageGlobal options- - - - - - -/etc/lilo.conf begins with a possibly empty global options section. Many global options can also be set from the command line, but storing permanent options in the configuration file is more convenient.The following global options are recognized:  BACKUP=<backup_file>  Copy the original boot sector to <backup_file>     (which may also be a device, e.g. /dev/null) instead of     /boot/boot.<number>   BOOT=<boot_device>  Sets the name of the device (e.g. a hard disk     partition) that contains the boot sector. If BOOT is omitted, the boot     sector is read from (and possibly written to) the device that is     currently mounted as root.   CHANGE-RULES  Defines partition type numbers. See section "Partition type     change rules" for details.   COMPACT  Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single     read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the map     smaller. Using COMPACT is especially recommended when booting from a     floppy disk. COMPACT may conflict with LINEAR or LBA32, see section     "Other problems".   DEFAULT=<name>  Uses the specified image as the default boot image. If     DEFAULT is omitted, the image appearing first in the configuration file     is used.   DELAY=<tsecs>  Specifies the number of _tenths_ of a second LILO should     wait before booting the first image. This is useful on systems that     immediately boot from the hard disk after enabling the keyboard. LILO     doesn't wait if DELAY is omitted or if DELAY is set to zero.   DISK=<device_name>  Defines non-standard parameters for the specified     disk. See section "Disk geometry" for details.   FIX-TABLE  Allows LILO to adjust 3D addresses in partition tables. Each     partition entry contains a 3D (sector/head/cylinder) and a linear     32-bit address of the first and the last sector of the partition. If a     partition is not track-aligned and if certain other operating systems     (e.g. PC/MS-DOS or OS/2) are using the same disk, they may change the     3D address. LILO can store its boot sector only on partitions where     both address types correspond. LILO re-adjusts incorrect 3D start     addresses if FIX-TABLE is set.     _WARNING:_ This does not guarantee that other operating systems may     not attempt to reset the address later. It is also possible that this     change has other, unexpected side-effects. The correct fix is to     re-partition the drive with a program that does align partitions to     tracks. Also, with some disks (e.g. some large EIDE disks with address     translation enabled), under some circumstances, it may even be     unavoidable to have conflicting partition table entries.   FORCE-BACKUP=<backup_file>  Like BACKUP, but overwrite an old backup copy     if it exists. BACKUP=<backup_file> is ignored if FORCE-BACKUP appears     in the same configuration file.   IGNORE-TABLE  Tells LILO to ignore corrupt partition tables and to put     the boot sector even on partitions that appear to be unsuitable for     that.   INSTALL=<boot_sector>  Install the specified file as the new boot sector.     If INSTALL is omitted, /boot/boot.b is used as the default.   KEYTABLE=<table_file>  Re-map the keyboard as specified in this file. See     section "Keyboard translation" for details.   LBA32  Generate 32-bit Logical Block Addresses instead of     sector/head/cylinder addresses. If the BIOS supports packet addressing,     then packet calls will be used to access the disk. This allows booting     from any partition on disks with more than 1024 cylinders. If the BIOS     does not support packet addressing, then LBA32 addresses are translated     to C:H:S, just as for LINEAR. All floppy disk references are retained     in C:H:S form. Use of LBA32 is recommended on all post-1998 systems.     LBA32 may conflict with COMPACT, see section "Other problems".   LINEAR  Generate linear sector addresses instead of sector/head/cylinder     addresses. Linear addresses are translated at run time and do not     depend on disk geometry. Note that boot disks may not be portable if     LINEAR is used, because the BIOS service to determine the disk geometry     does not work reliably for floppy disks. When using LINEAR with large     disks, /sbin/lilo may generate references to inaccessible disk areas     (see section "BIOS restrictions"), because 3D sector addr
