your bios needs to support this. if it does not, no chance. use grub: mkdir /boot/grub cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/stage{1,2} /boot/grub cp /usr/share/doc/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub vi /boot/grub/menu.lst: title Linux root (hd0,2) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14 root=/dev/sda3 readonly hisax=3,2,10,0xd80,0,HiSax vi /boot/grub/install: #!/bin/sh
grub --batch --no-floppy <<EOT root (hd0,2) install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst quit chmod +x /boot/grub/install /boot/grub/floppy
done.
as an alternative you can create a small (20 mb ?) partition at the start of your hard disk and mount it as /boot. don't forget to move your lilo.msg to /boot.
but i guess it's to late now, and you don't want to repartition your harddisk.
