In-Reply-To: <007701c07539$2c3c2a20$27128fd1@enterprise> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII List-Id: Hi: Well, there is a root directive in /etc/lilo.conf. Whether this over-rides any other specifications (e.g. rdev, command line, etc), I am not sure. So you could use different /etc/lilo.conf files on your different machines to specify the particular root partition. You will of course have to have the correct root device set for a bootdisk kernel, as it will need to find your root partition upon boot-up. Geoff. -- Geoff Shang ICQ number 43634701
