and
hxxp://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=15901

I have even posted in the second one.
no avail


every thing works fine until I hit the

lilo -v

to execute the changes made in lilo
in return all I get is this error.

Reading boot sector from /dev/sda3
Fatal: creat /boot/boot.0800: Read-only file system

Can you help me please?
Thanks in advance

So noone answered your questions yet , i'll give it a try without having a mac.

Fatal: creat /boot/boot.0800: Read-only file system

The Error tells it can't write to your hdd, so did you check the "w" flag? Try:

mount -o rw /dev/sda

to mount your hdd with writing permission.

Another way would be to try out grub instead of lilo.

My friend figured out that I was not saving my lilo configuration in nano. Therefore it yielded that error.
Everything works now.


thanks
