By enabling the system at boot time, it can
also detect other hardware, including PCI cards.
18. Install the LILO boot loader. Choose Simple to have the setup process try to automatically
install the LILO boot loader, or choose Expert if you want to configure the boot loader to
do something special. If you want to add kernel parameters and set framebuffer console
features, you can use either mode, but certain tasks require Expert mode:
Adding other bootable Linux partitions
Adding a bootable Windows partition
Installing an existing lilo.conf file, instead of creating a new one
You can have graphics appear on the boot screen by enabling the frame buffer console.
Choose the resolution and number of colors (such as 1024 ?— 768 ?— 256) to use with the
frame buffer console.
When prompted, add any parameters you want fed to the kernel when you boot. In particular,
you might add kernel parameters if you want to turn off autoprobing on certain devices
(for example, nousb) or turn off power management features (noacpi). Chapter 11
describes some kernel parameters that might be useful to you.
LILO is usually placed in the root of the Linux partition or in the master boot record for
the entire hard disk. It??™s safest to put LILO in the superblock (Root) of the Linux partition
or on a formatted floppy disk.
