[lug] boot problem

[Andrew Diederich]

So did you re-install DOS after you installed Linux?  The LI you see is the
first two letters of LILO (LInux LOader), and it means something didn't go
right (surprise).  Actually, LILO prints the characters to the screen
individually, and this means you got through the first two parts.  Dunno
what they are, though.

Your best bet is to boot Linux with the boot floppy you made when you
installed (right?), or a rescue disk that came with your distro, check out
your /etc/lilo.conf, and rerun /sbin/lilo.
