I downloaded the bl3-50fd.zip file and booted it with Bochs, it
worked. Then, using bximage, i created a 2GB disk image and used it as
the hard disk, then i used fdisk and mke2fs to partition and convert
the partition to the ext2 filesystem. Then i ran install-to-hd. It
successfully installed. Then i installed LILO to the disk image
(following the instructions provided after completing setup), and my
lilo.conf file includes the prompt command (so i'd be able to
"root=/dev/sdb1" to boot the USB stick). Using PowerISO i wrote the
image to the stick, then i booted it. It shows "LI" then hangs, no
matter what i do. Does anybody know the solution to this prob?
