Hi

I have had two great (and fortunately very similar) responses.

Combining the two responses...

cp -pv /boot/* /mnt/flash/boot/
cp lilo.flash /mnt/flash/etc/lilo.conf
lilo -r /mnt/flash -v -v -v

so /mnt/fkash/etc/lilo.conf:
--------------------------------
boot=/dev/hdc
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
read-only
root=/dev/hda2 (was hdc2)
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18
--------------------------------

I get:

Reading boot sector from /dev/hdc
open /dev/hdc: Permission denied

It is the last line that is the killer
(yes I'm logged in as root)

And here's what happens when you do an fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 51 sectors, 1010 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 816 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             1        41     16727+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda2   *        42      1010    395352   83  Linux

Disk /dev/hdc: 4 heads, 32 sectors, 490 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 128 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdc1             1       256     16368   83  Linux
/dev/hdc2   *       257       490     14976   83  Linux

Any ideas why I have no permission for hdc?  Especially when I can mount and
read/write to my hearts content?

Thanks
