LILO is the Linux boot loader. It includes combined boot sector,
|
||
|
|
generic chain loader, map installer, and a simple boot partition setter.
|
||
|
|
LILO allows booting from multiple disks, and can have menus for choosing
|
||
|
|
different boot images. LILO is also able to pass command-line options
|
||
|
|
to the Linux kernel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LILO does not depend on a specific file system, can boot Linux kernel
|
||
|
|
images from floppy disks and from hard disks, and can even act as a
|
||
|
|
"boot manager" for other operating systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
LILO should be ran whenever any part of the system that it knows about
|
||
|
|
changes, e.g. after installing a new kernel.
