1) Boot from the install CD
2) Install system step by step rather than automatic, to avoid installing LILO.
3) Make a note of your root partition.
4) Reboot leaving the install CD in the drive.
5) At boot add the following (remember the space before "ro"):
Code: Select all
hugesmp.s root=/dev/partition rdinit= ro
Code: Select all
slapt-get --update && slapt-get --install grub2
Code: Select all
grub-install /dev/<yourdev>
8) Run the following as root in a terminal to update Grub:
Code: Select all
update-grub
10) Enjoy Salix
EDIT (26/5-2013)
Please notice that the name of the kernel in Salix 14.0 has cchanged to "huge.s", so you should add the following at the boot prompt::
Code: Select all
huge.s root=/dev/partition rdinit= ro
I also added Shador's corrected syntax.
