Greetings

Need help.

Debian was installed in a 60G Maxtor drive. Because of
the "large" disk, "Dyamic Disk Overlay"/ez-drive was
used. Now, I got the LILO - keytable read/checksum
error.

According to Knoppix, the drive type is ez-drive.
Don't know how to mount it to re-lilo.

fdisk show ID 55 i.e. ez-drive

Have tried the following but it didn't work

# Save the first 512 bytes to a USB disk
mount /dev/sda1 /sda1 
dd if=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 of=/sda1/disk.bin
# Overwrite the ez-drive table
dd if=/dev/hda bs=1 skip=958 count=66 of=/dev/hda
seek=446

Well, it didn't work either. So, I put dd
if=/sda1/disk.bin of=/dev/hda back.

Now, no clue in how to mount a ez-drive in order to do
a lilo.

Thank you for your help.

Newton
