Hello,
I just update my Fedora 8 with yum, and I don't want to reboot it as I
get an error during the update. I cannot easily rescue it in
case of problem as the host is located at a remote location (datacenter).
so the /boot/boot.b is missing, the bootloader is lilo.
LILO is not included in the Fedora repositories.
Fedora uses GRUB for a long time.
How can I regenerate this file ?
By reinstalling LILO. Manually or as a package.
Installing: kernel ##################### [

grubby: unable to open /boot/boot.b: No such file or directory
The bootloader is Lilo :
# dd if=/dev/sda obs=512 count=1 2>/dev/null|grep LILO
Binary File ... matches
That test is invalid.
$ sudo dd if=/dev/sda obs=512 count=1 2>/dev/null|strings
