Legacy LILO install on a UEFI system
by linuxbird from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6K3DR)
I am trying to build a root Slackware 15.0 file system, for a system that is not readily accessible, and sports a 14 year old motherboard, not capable of UEFI boots.
So I am working on a system that has a UEFI bios, but is run in legacy mode. For some reason booting off the Slackware DVD ends up using grub, which I don't really want.
I would like to revert back to a straight LILO based boot on old system, and am trying to do so by creating a new system (legacy) disk on an office Slackware system, with the disc drives disconnected, and only the SSD for the target system, and a CDROM drive. Any guidance on how to disable the grub boot would be appreciated. The MB is a Gigabyte G77 board, on the creating machine.
I did allot of reading but did not identify the solution to this issue, and am looking for some additional guidance.
