Hi,

my Redhat 7.1 doesn’t boot, so I want to edit lilo.conf after booting with a boot floppy. This boot disk was created with these two files under Win98:

ftp://ftp.rz.uni-kiel.de/pub2/linux/redhat/9/en/os/i386/images/bootdisk.img

and rawrite.exe

But with it I can’t reach the file lilo.conf in the hard disk. There’re five options after booting with this floppy

F1-Main, F2-Options, F3-General, F4-Kernel, F5-Rescue

But after choosing F5 I can't continue at this stage:

What type of media contains the packages to be installed?
 

       Local CDROM

       Hard drive

       NFS image

       FTP

       HTTP

I don't want to reinstall Linux, but edit lilo.conf. In other words, how can I get to the normal shell command mode and reach my hard disk?

Thanks

Shang
