- # | Don't forget to run `lilo' after you make changes to this |
- # | conffile, `/boot/bootmess.txt' (if you have created it), or |
- # | install a new kernel. The computer will most likely fail to |
- # | boot if a kernel-image post-install script or you don't |
- # | remember to run `lilo'. |

- # Specifies the boot device. This is where Lilo installs its boot
- # block. It can be either a partition, or the raw device, in which
- # case it installs in the MBR, and will overwrite the current MBR.

- # Enable map compaction:
- # Tries to merge read requests for adjacent sectors into a single
- # read request. This drastically reduces load time and keeps the
- # map smaller. Using `compact' is especially recommended when
- # booting from a floppy disk. It is disabled here by default
- # because it doesn't always work.

- # compact
- # Installs the specified file as the new boot sector
- # You have the choice between: text, bmp, and menu

- # You can set a password here, and uncomment the `restricted' lines
- # in the image definitions below to make it so that a password must
- # be typed to boot anything but a default configuration. If a
- # command line is given, other than one specified by an `append'
- # statement in `lilo.conf', the password will be required, but a
- # standard default boot will not require one.
- #
- # This will, for instance, prevent anyone with access to the
- # console from booting with something like `Linux init=/bin/sh',
- # and thus becoming `root' without proper authorization.
- #
- # Note that if you really need this type of security, you will
- # likely also want to use `install-mbr' to reconfigure the MBR
- # program, as well as set up your BIOS to disallow booting from
- # removable disk or CD-ROM, then put a password on getting into the
- # BIOS configuration as well. Please RTFM `install-mbr(8)'.

- # You can put a customized boot message up if you like. If you use
- # `prompt', and this computer may need to reboot unattended, you
- # must specify a `timeout', or it will sit there forever waiting
- # for a keypress. `single-key' goes with the `alias' lines in the
- # `image' configurations below. eg: You can press `1' to boot
- # `Linux', `2' to boot `LinuxOLD', if you uncomment the `alias'.
