Hi,
I've just installed gentoo, and I've run into a problem with LILO.
I'm POSITIVE I named my boot image gentoo-2.6.15-r1, but
now when I try to update LILO by running /sbin/lilo, it says it can't
find the file or directory. How can I fix this?

Thanks,
kinghunter4

stupid question: have you mounted /boot?

Hi.

Have you finish the installation and are you booting your new system or are you still under the live-cd? If you're booting your new system, did you try to do mount /boot? If under the live-cd, you must do mount /dev/boot-partition /boot under the chroot.
