Configuring Lilo
We're not going to create lilo's configuration file from scratch, but we'll
use the file from your normal Linux system. This file is different on every
machine and thus I can't create it here. Since you would want to have the
same options regarding lilo as you have when you're using your normal Linux
system you would create the file exactly as it is on the normal system.
Copy the Lilo configuration file and kernel images that Lilo uses by
running the following commands from a shell on your normal Linux system.
Don't execute these commands from your chroot'ed shell.
cp /etc/lilo.conf $LFS/etc
cp /boot/<kernel images> $LFS/boot
Before you can execute the second command you need to know the names of
the kernel images. You can't just copy all files from the /boot
directory. The /etc/lilo.conf file contains the names of the kernel
images you're using. Open the file and look for lines like this:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
Look for all image variables and their values
represent the name and location of the image files. These files will
usually be in /boot but they might be in other directories as well,
depending on your distribution's conventions.
