So I had DSL and Fedora on same drive, separate partitions. Used LILO (installed with DSL) as boot loader. Everything fine.

Then I upgraded to DSL 0.84, and my boot map image got trashed. I can't seem to mount the DSL partition in rw mode, so I can run Lilo again to write the map image (I did save and restore my original lilo.conf).

I tried "mount -t ext2 /dev/hda4 hda -rw" and other similar variations. But when I run Lilo I get "partion not writeable, can't write map image."

Any syntax suggestions or other ideas welcome.
