[Peeweelinux] RE lilo compact flash prob

[Adi Linden]

Hi,

The "bios  = 0x80" refers to the bios disk the boot loader is to be booted 
from. Without it lilo would assume "/dev/sda" which is incorrect since it 
is actually "/dev/hda" in the actual target system. The boot loader is 
actually installed on "/dev/sda".
