== Configuring ==
Configuration strongly depends on individual setups. Please refer to the man-pages on how to apply the mandatory configuration file /etc/lilo.conf appropriately. The following is an '''example configuartion file''' for a system with these characteristics:
* two SCSI harddisks
* system on sdb
* root filesystem on sdb3
* bootloader in MBR of first disk (sda)
* two bootable kernel images
* menu for bootloader
# Begin /etc/lilo.conf

boot=/dev/sda

lba32
install = menu
menu-scheme=Gb:Gk:Gb:Yb
menu-title=" My Bootmenu "
read-only
vga = normal
prompt
timeout=30

image = /boot/smp64-2.6.23.13-25.06.2008
root = /dev/sdb3
label = SMP64-25.06.08

image = /boot/smp64-2.6.23.13-14.04.2008
root = /dev/sdb3
label = SMP64-14.04.08

# End /etc/lilo.conf

After creation of /etc/lilo.conf you need to run '''/sbin/lilo''' once.

{{Note|'''Take care of possible error messages or you will leave your system unbootable!'''}}
