Switching between the loaders

  • By default the Debian installation comes with GRUB.

  • To install LILO:
    apt-get install mbr lilo
    
  • Run liloconfig to create initial /etc/lilo.conf or edit it manually. Then run
    /sbin/lilo -v
    reboot
    


  • Switching from LILO to GRUB. Assuming GRUB package is already installed and /boot/grub/menu.lst configured correctly, run
    /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda
    reboot
