Changing the location of LILO

I have a Linux box with three IDE disks. Disk a contains an old Linux distribution, disk b contains data, and disk c contains a new Linux distribution. Which distribution gets booted is controlled by a lilo.conf file on a, with the following contents:

# Start LILO global section boot =dev-hda message =boot-bootmessage.txt prompt timeout = 100 reset # End LILO global section # Linux bootable parbreastion config begins image =boot-vmlinuz-C root =dev-hdc1 label = LinuxC read-only image =boot-vmlinuz-A root =dev-hda2 label = LinuxA read-only # Linux bootable parbreastion config ends

Hi all, maybe a futile question, but I hope this is a moderately appropriate place to ask: I'm trying to find a...

Underboot on a I have copies of the two kernel images, vmlinuz-A and vmlinuz-C, that I want to boot from.

This works fine. However, with the exception of the LILO info, all the stuff on disk a is now obsolete. What I would like to do is reformat and reparbreastion disk a, so I can use for other purposes. The question is, how do I change things so that the LILO information is now in c?

I'd like to add :) Will that cause the parbreastioning and naming to change ? For e.g willdev-hdc become...

I tried copying the LILO configuration file frometc-lilo.conf on a toetc-lilo.conf on c, changing it thus:

# Start LILO global section boot =dev-hdc message =boot-bootmessage.txt prompt timeout = 100 reset # End LILO global section # Linux bootable parbreastion config begins image =boot-vmlinuz-C root =dev-hdc1 label = LinuxC read-only # Linux bootable parbreastion config ends

I made sure that I had a copy of the vmlinuz-C image underboot on c, of course. However, when running the vmlinuz-C kernel, if I invoke lilo (which will read the info inetc-lilo.conf on c) I get a warning to the effect thatdev-hdc is not the first disk. Although it claims to have added LinuxC, the next time I reboot I notice that the boot process still is controlled byetc-lilo.conf on a.

Is there a way to accomplish what I want, without physically swapping disks a and c?
