I’m no LILO expert, but I think you need to tell it which
file it should load…
On RTP, the boot image is in the .boot file

Giving the fact it is /dev/hdb, are you installing QNX on
“second hardisk” ?
There are reports of QNX can’t boot from second harddisk.

I’m not a lilo expert either. So I need to ask how you tell lilo to load
the .boot file. Given the lilo excerpt above (the ‘other’ and ‘label’
tags), what do I need to add to tell lilo to load the ‘.boot’ file on
the indicated partition?
look here:

I was having the same problem
I did a search for ‘lilo’ on the qdn knowledge base and that was the
only hit.

Hmm… the only time I ever did anything with LILO was to add an RTP
entry…
All I did was read the LILE docs in Linux, and it was the first night
I ever used Linux.
Someone else mentioned the bit about RTP not booting from a second
hard drive, but I don’t think that’s it. I think that is a limitation
of our boot loader. If LILO can load the .boot file from the
second hard disk, it should work.
thanx it worked!!!
thanks a lot to all who replied…

No problem for me.
I own a pc with scsi controller with win in /dev/sda1 and linux on /dev/sda5…sda11.
As qrtp only works on ide, I put qrtp on an eide hd I added, on the second controller of course, because as I want to have the boot loader on my scsi drive, lilo complained that /dev/sda was not the first disk. I suppose that it could be ok if I put the ide disk in the first controller as slave and not as master.
So I just put an entry very similar as you did but I will check my lilo.conf tonight. I’ll give you the answer tomorrow.
I see a difference in fact.
As I own a scsi pc (with scsi cd-rom), I’ve installed qrtp from windows on windows filesystem on my eide hd. In a 2 GB fat32 with anything else than qrtp files.
Anyway, I have no time to try to install from scratch with an ide cd-rom today but I’m interesting by this problem and if you don’t have a precise answer soon, I’ll check it before the end of the week. I think.
what’s really cool is the redhat 7 graphical LILO screen with two
choices:
linux
QNX
