Weird Problem while booting...

[Rob Malda]

I've got linux installed in a native partition /dev/hdb6.

I'm booting off a lilo floppy using a few different kernels.

When I boot I get a message warning me that my system is
read-only. I get an attack of error message and can't
do anything when I finally get to a prompt.

So I follow the directions and boot with the read-only
flag in lilo, and I also try using the rw flag on
lilo's boot prompt. Now I have the opposite error-
apparently linux can't mount this read-only partition
as a read-write partition.

Quite odd.

My solution has been to just tolerate the warning message
that the latter situation gives me. It's irritating to
get the warning every time, but I can boot...

please reply and let me know where I have erred and what
I have overlooked.
