lilo not playing nice
I have an old lilo install on the mbr if that makes a difference, and im at the point in installing gentoo where I must configure grub. Rebooting the machine after having set up grub and installing, lilo comes up and I want to punch its tux image on the screen! I just want to get it so that grub will boot and not lilo.

I ended up deleting all partitions and formatting again, including my backups
But it worked somehow.
