[lug] LILO becomes LI...

Ok. I gave myself a couple days to think on this. Still clueless.

What is the mapping software? man -k map returns no hits that seem
relevent to my newbie mind.

How can I view the contents of the first 1024 of the drive? The kernels
I've tried to boot are the 2 kernels I was running before I did the RH CD
install. Why would RH have moved those two kernels?

TIA,
