Moving from VirtualBox to read HDD and lilo
by e-San from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4PY0T)
Hi!
I've been messing around with BasicLinux to prepare it to work on my 486 system. Long-story-short: I have 16MB working (converted from VDI to RAW) disk image which I've dd'ed on sda (on other system). Now LILO won't boot. Throws LI or hangs on LI or L 01 04 depends on system.
I thougt "Easy, just repair LILO!". So I booted, kubuntu 18.03 x86, then Ubuntu server and at the end BG-rescue-7.0. Every one boots, I mount (bind) /dev on /mnt/dev and try to run lilo, but it dies with "Out of memory".
Please help, I have no idea anymore...
