I have a system w the following drives:
hda 10.5 Gig w RH6.1 boots fine from lilo
hdb 1.8 Gig formatted by Win98, empty, Fat32
hdc 2.5 Gig w Win98 installed
hdd CD-Rom
At the Lilo prompt I enter 'dos' and and get
Loading dos
Invalid system disk
Replace the disk and press any key
If I switch the ide cables between hda and hdc the system boots right up
into Windows. What am I doing wrong? Why can't Lilo boot my Windows drive?
This is my lilo.conf
# more lilo.conf
boot = /dev/hda
timeout = 50
prompt
default = linux
vga = normal
read-only
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
label = linux
initrd = /boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
root = /dev/hda9
other = /dev/hdc1
label = dos
table = /dev/hdc1
On the line 'other' and 'table' I have tried /dev/hda, /dev/hda1, /dev/hdc,
and /dev/hdc1 and various combinations.
I've read quite a few Lilo Howto's and they all seem to want to boot your
option of os from the same hd. Nowhere can I find info on booting to
different drives. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance
Jim Morton
