If you are on an SMP system, type:
/ # cp /mnt2/***/initsmp /mnt/boot/initrd
2 Unmount and eject the 3ware Software Installation diskette from
the floppy drive by entering the following:
/ # umount /mnt2

Edit the lilo.conf file

LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/ # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/usr/lib
/ # /mnt/usr/bin/vi /mnt/etc/lilo.conf
2 In the lilo.conf file add the line, initrd = /boot/initrd after the
line, image = /boot/vmlinuz.
image = /boot/vmlinuz
initrd = /boot/initrd
