Steven, thanks for responding.

I could not find a boot.bat on my machine, but I did find a lilo.conf.

Here is the content of my /etc/lilo.conf:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
# boot=/dev/hda ###  this line puts lilo in MBR of primary harddrive
                             ### otherwise lilo ges in root partition
image=/boot/zimage
  label=BL3
  root=CURRENT
  read-write
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------

It appears to me that lilo.conf is set for read-write.

I should note that 3 lines above the final "sleeping forever" line during
boot from HD, it does display
"VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly".

Any further advice for me?   I'll try to get any information you need.

Thanks, Les
