Could Not locate Bootsect.lnx

[John.Richard at compaq.com (Richard, John)]

oh.....
 
any time you make any changes to lilo.conf (new kernel, entry for
windows) you need to recreate the bootsect.lnx file......

You need to make bootsect.lnx with the dd command: 
  
dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/boot/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 
  
where /dev/hda1 is your /boot partition. You can use the mount command 
to find out what is mounted where. If you only have a / patrition, use 
that. I will assume you are dual booting  win2k or winNT, and it is on 
the c: drive. If your  M$ Winblows partition is mounted as /mnt/c you 
could use /mnt/c/bootsect.lnx as the out file so you will not have to 
move it later. If you do not have your c: partition mounted, copy the 
bootsect.lnx file to a floppy, boot winblows and copy the file to c:\. 
  
Once you have bootsect.lnx on the windows c: partition, you add a entry 
to c:\boot.ini in the [operating systems] section: 
  
c:\bootsect.lnx="RedHat Linux 7.1 is the best choice here"
