Hi Steven,

Making the changes you indicated (in lilo.conf), and then running lilo -v
fixed my boot problem!  BL3 now boots from the hard drive!  Thank you VERY
much for your expert advice.

Now that BL3 boots from the HD, I do have another question:

Does BL3 automatically use my swap partition, or do I need to set that up?
I only have 12MB on this old Compaq LTE Lite 4/33C notebook and I think BL3
could probably benefit from a swap file.  What do you think?

Thanks and best regards,

Les Myer
