Used my arch 0.2 cd and " installed" everything again, of course pacman didn't install anything since it was already on the system. After that I ran lilo again.
And now ... everything is back again, up, running and compiling mozilla 1.2a
]]># mount /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /mnt
# mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /mnt/boot
# vi /mnt/etc/lilo.conf
# mount -t devfs none /mnt/dev
# lilo -r /mnt
# umount /mnt/dev /mnt/boot /mnt
# reboot
The -r switch makes lilo do a 'chroot' to the /mnt directory before installing the bootloader, which is why you need to mount /dev under /mnt/dev so it will be found by lilo.

]]>I've installed the new kernel package
but forgot to run lilo
now when my Arch tries to boot up it decompresses the Arch kernel and stops right there.
decompressing kernel ....................
I got myself a coffee, and another one
did a reset (you never know, it's a microsoft trick )
but nothing. So now I have to get out my Archlinux cd, buut it up, mount my drive to /tmp ... but then what?
can I lilo the mbr?

]]>try to run everything, and re-install the packages which gave problems ...
only perl and gtk needed to be re-installed so I'm back
I'm thinking of
pacman -S `/bin/ls'
in the /usr/abs directory, but will that work?
Not quite, as there are no packages directly under /usr/abs, only categories (packages are one level deeper). If you account for that, you can install every package we have by running through all the categories in /usr/abs, but that will probably install more than you want.
Do you still have the pacman database intact? If so, you can use all the entries in /var/lib/pacman/local as your package list.
