[ILUG] NEED HELP -LINUX PROBLEM -requires a simple answer

[Andrew S.]

ok..
I installed Mandrake 8 on its own partition and set it to dual boot along 
side WIN98. I used Boot Magic (by Powerquest) to dual boot it. Powerquest 
says i Must put LILO in my root home directory for it to boot thru Boot 
Magic. I think i should do this with the "boot=" in lilo.conf. The problem 
is that I can't boot into Linux because Boot Magic just stops at Preparing 
to load OS (or something of that sort) I guess because it can't find LILO 
in / directory? I did not make a boot disk because the install skipped it 
for some reason. All I have is the LM 8 cd and the floppy with the cdrom 
image (cdrom.img) on it. How do I boot into Linux and change the Lilo 
location (if that is the problem)?
