Hello.
I'm try to install lilo from DSL, on mounted disk (hda1)
lilo -C /mnt/hda1/boot/lilo.conf

Fatal: creat /boot/map~: Read-only file system.
Why lilo tries to write map file not in the /mnt/hda1/boot?
lilo.conf:

Code Sample

disk=/dev/hda
bios=128

boot=/dev/hda
timeout=0
lba32
default=.

image=/boot/vmlinuz
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
label=.
root=/dev/hda1
vga=788
read-only
append=" rhgb console=/dev/null"

I'm assuming you were running as root...

I'll try to adapt it (from the script) to your scenario:

Code Sample

chmod 644 /mnt/hda1/boot/lilo.conf
ln -sf /mnt/hda1/boot /
lilo -C /mnt/hda1/boot/lilo.conf

Reboot.
