If I need to initialize my ISA PNP card and load my advansys.o
driver, should I use the initrd in LILO? I've been reading up a bit,
and I'm sort of lost.
I'm reading the bootdisk-howto
bootprompt-howto
LILO-howto
man initrd
man linuxrc
/usr/share/doc/lilo/README
I thought it would be as easy as putting a couple of lines in /etc/lilo.conf
