Donald,

Have you actually installed the system yet? If you have, and you are having the LI problem, the boot from floppy and the following commands

mount /dev/hda12 /mnt
lilo -r /mnt
umount /mnt
reboot

that should take care of that.

The only real problem I can see for you to install on hda12 is that the kernel needs to reside on the first 1024 cylinders of the drive. I am not sure if your partition map is laid out that way or not. Why so many
partitions?

Joseph
