through. However, when I go into the /boot directory, nothing is
there. I tried to do lilo. it returns:
First sector of /dev/hda5 doesn't have a valid boot signature.
From lilo's manual:
First sector of <device> doesn't have a valid boot signature
The first sector of the specified device does not appear to be a valid
boot sector. You might have confused the device name.*
* Because different partition programs may display the partitions in a
different order, it is possible that what you think is your first
partition isn't /dev/hda1, etc. A good method to verify the content of
a partition is to try to mount it.
Are you sure that /dev/hda5 is the correct partition? Normally if you
have one partition it would be /dev/hda1; there is no reason to use
logical or extended partitions.
