5We're not going to create lilo's configuration file from scratch, but we'll
6use the file from the normal Linux system. This file is different on every
7machine and thus I can't create it here. Since a user would want to have the
8same options regarding lilo as he has when he is using his normal Linux
9system he would create the file exactly as it is on the normal system.

13Copy the Lilo configuration file and kernel images that Lilo uses by
14running the following commands from a shell on the normal Linux system.
15Don't execute these commands from the chroot'ed shell.

26Before a user can execute the second command he needs to know the names of
27the kernel images. He can't just copy all files from the /boot
28directory. The /etc/lilo.conf file contains the names of the kernel
29images he is using. Open the file and look for lines like this:

39Look for all <emphasis>image</emphasis> variables and their values
40represent the name and location of the image files. These files will
41usually be in /boot but they might be in other directories as well,
42depending on the distribution's conventions.
