Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES
Choose which boot loader you want to install. If you would rather use LILO, make sure it is selected
instead of GRUB.
Caution
If you choose not to install GRUB or LILO for any reason, you will not be able to boot your Red
Hat Enterprise Linux ES system directly, and you will need to use another boot method (such as a
boot diskette). Use this option only if you are sure you have another way of booting your Red Hat
Enterprise Linux ES system!
Figure 3-9. Boot Loader Installation
If you chose to install a boot loader (GRUB or LILO), you must determine where it will be installed.
You may install your boot loader in one of two places:
The master boot record (MBR)
The recommended place to install a boot loader, unless the MBR already starts another operating
system loader, such as System Commander or OS/2’s Boot Manager. The MBR is a special area
on your hard drive that is automatically loaded by your computer’s BIOS, and is the earliest point
at which the boot loader can take control of the boot process. If you install it in the MBR, when
your machine boots, GRUB (or LILO) will present a boot prompt. You can then boot Red Hat
Enterprise Linux ES or any other operating system that you have configured the boot loader to
boot.
