Driver files

[Debian User]

Hi Ross:
If you are using loadlin, you should be able to put that command right on
the loadlin command line.
I'd write a batch file and just add that to the command line.
Lilo boots directly from your hard drive and Loadlin, as you well know
boots from a command line.
Hope this helps
Regards,
martin
