Strange!
There is no BOOT.raw in the mulinux-11r12.tgz I downloaded
from sunsite.dk.
Also:

dd if=BOOT bs=512 count=1 |hexdump
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
*
0000200

That is no lilo in BOOT file.
Could there be two different versions of mulinux-11r12.tgz
on the server??
