As user root try this...

mount /mnt/sda1
"edit" /mnt/sda1/boot/lilo.conf
ln -sf /mnt/sda1/boot /
lilo -C /mnt/sda1/boot/lilo.conf
reboot



Where "edit" means to use your favorite editor and change the occurences of sda1 to hda1 etc....

I'm sorry, I always failed. It can not work in any ways. Then I have had to change the OS to Windows XP Embedded. I'm doing a porject, aiming to implement a embeded system to a X86 Mini PC through a Compact Flash, DSL might not suitable for me.
But I'd like to show my experiences, so DSL can develop to suit more situation, and embedded system could be a good direction.
My works:
1. Through USB/CF adapter, the CF card connect to Host PC. Host PC boot from DSL Live CD. Host PC have its Hard disk 1G RAM and Windows XP.
first cfdisk /dev/sda, I made /dev/sda1 120M, /dev/sda2 300M
then /usr/sbin/frugal_lilo.sh I installed image to sda1, home=sda2, opt=sda2, restore in sda2, mydsl in sda2
Installation completed.
2. I tried to boot the Host PC from USB, then the CF card is bootable, but nothing have appeareed, just the black screen.
3. My objectives is to boot DSL in the Mini PC, CF card connect to  Mini PC through IDE/CF adapter, so I did't pay much attention to that. Mini PC have 512M CF, 32M RAM.
continu:
like you told me, i changed the lilo. there was a error of hda
Then i boot CF from Mini PC, black screen...
Question:
1. In step 2, why DSL can't work in the Host PC?
2. In step 3, why DSL can't work in the Mini PC? It seems DSL could not support changing of lilo in that way.
3. it seems CF card really not good for DSL as Hard disk.

In the end, I hope someone can write the documentation of CF card installation.

Thank you a lot. I hope DSL can become more strong!
