There appears to be a bug with the v11r12 install script.
I do not know when it occurred as v11r8 operates correctly
and I have not downloaded the minor versions in between.
The install command: "./mu -i 1" will not work as the BOOT
file contains a blank boot sector (all zeroes) and the mu
script does not run lilo, therefore the generated floppy has
a blank boot sector which my box ignores and proceeds to
boot from the hard disk.
Bootable 1.722M floppies can be produced using: "mu -r"
provided a working /dev/loop exists (unfortunately this has
highlighted a loop problem with my 2.4.2 kernel but that is
a different story).
An alternative is to issue the following 3 commands (as
root) at the "Done. Reboot now." prompt:
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0H1722 mnt
cat lilo.1722 |./bin/lilo -r `pwd`/mnt/ -C -
umount mnt
I am not sure what the correct fix should be, either the mu
script needs amending or the BOOT file needs a valid boot
sector. I guess I shall have to wait for v11r13 for the
final answer.
