21.5. Editing Global LILO Options

LILO has several configurable options that apply to all bootable kernels and operating systems. The steps to edit them are:

1.
Click on Global Options on the module's main page to go to the global options configuration form.

2.
To change the drive or partition on which LILO is installed, select it from the Write boot loader to menu. Generally you will not need to change this if LILO is already being correctly run at boot time.

3.
Normally LILO will give the user a chance to select a kernel or operating system to load at boot time. To disable this, set the Display LILO prompt? option to No. To give the user the opportunity to select an OS, set it to Yes.

4.
To change the kernel or OS that is loaded automatically at boot time if no other selection is made, adjust the Default kernel/partition field.

5.
To adjust the amount of time that LILO will wait for user input before loading the default kernel, enter a new time into the Time to wait at LILO prompt field.

6.
To prevent untrusted users from booting the system, enter a password into the Default boot password field. Unless a boot option has the Password needed for field set to Booting kernels with extra options, it will not be loadable unless the password is entered.

7.
On systems with modern BIOSs, LILO can be configured to load a kernel located anywhere on the hard disk. To enable this, set the Allow booting from beyond 1024 cylinders? field to Yes.

8.
Click the Save button to save your changes to the global options and return to the module's main page.

9.
Click on Apply Configuration so LILO will use the new options at the next boot time. If the disk or partition on which LILO is to be installed was changed, it will be written to the new location now.
