You will see a text-based boot
prompt that appears as follows:
boot:
LILO pauses for a few seconds and then automatically boots the first image from the default bootable
partition. To see the bootable partitions again, quickly press Tab. You may see something similar to
the following:
LILO boot:
linux linux-up dos
boot:
This example shows that three bootable partitions are on your computer, called linux, linux-up,
and dos. The first two names refer to two different boot images that can boot the Linux partition.
The third refers to a bootable DOS partition (presumably containing a Windows operating system).
The first bootable partition is loaded if you don??™t type anything after a few seconds. Or you can use
the name of the other partition to have that boot instead.
If you have multiple boot images, press Shift, and LILO asks you which image you want to boot.
Available boot images and other options are defined in the /etc/lilo.conf file.
Setting Up the /etc/lilo.conf File
The /etc/lilo.conf file is where LILO gets the information it needs to find and start bootable partitions
and images. By adding options to the /etc/lilo.conf file, you can change the behavior of
the boot process. The following is an example of some of the contents of the /etc/lilo.
