/etc/lilo.confThis can be done by opening a console and entering:
suto login as root. Edit now the file by entering:
pico /etc/lilo.confand inserting the line:
default=windowsto start e.g. Windows as default operating system.
The following output sample will help to clarify this:
# LILO configuration file # Start LILO global Section # If you want to prevent console users to boot with init=/bin/bash, # restrict usage of boot params by setting a passwd and using the option # restricted. #password=bootpwd #restricted boot=/dev/hda #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. vga = normal # force sane state menu-scheme=Wg:kw:Wg:Wg read-only prompt timeout=100 default=windows # End LILO global Section # image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda6 label = linux initrd = /boot/initrd # other = /dev/hda1 label = windowsThe entry must match the label name.
Once you have entered the data, save the file and install Lilo anew with the recent changes.
You can perform this operation with YaST:
System Administration Kernel and boot configuration LILO configurationor alternatvely by invoking as root:
liloin a console.
