From 0cc93da3cbc73d93a94c206e5f423d33c0fd38e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: reed Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 00:46:23 +0000 Subject: Import new package from pkgsrc-wip: lilo LILO is the Linux boot loader. It includes combined boot sector, generic chain loader, map installer, and a simple boot partition setter. LILO allows booting from multiple disks, and can have menus for choosing different boot images. LILO is also able to pass command-line options to the Linux kernel. LILO does not depend on a specific file system, can boot Linux kernel images from floppy disks and from hard disks, and can even act as a "boot manager" for other operating systems. LILO should be ran whenever any part of the system that it knows about changes, e.g. after installing a new kernel. --- sysutils/lilo/MESSAGE.Linux | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) create mode 100644 sysutils/lilo/MESSAGE.Linux (limited to 'sysutils/lilo/MESSAGE.Linux') diff --git a/sysutils/lilo/MESSAGE.Linux b/sysutils/lilo/MESSAGE.Linux new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..31741b10613 --- /dev/null +++ b/sysutils/lilo/MESSAGE.Linux @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +=========================================================================== +$NetBSD: MESSAGE.Linux,v 1.1.1.1 2008/03/08 00:46:23 reed Exp $ + +If you are using LILO as your boot loader, then +${PREFIX}/sbin/lilo should now be run to complete the update. + +Also, if using lilo, whenever any of the Linux kernel files +that are used by LILO are moved or overwritten, the map should +be re-built by running lilo(8). + +Sample lilo.conf files are in ${PREFIX}/share/lilo/. + +=========================================================================== -- cgit v1.2.3
