summary:
/dev/hda1 RedHat /
/dev/hda2 RedHat /home
/dev/hda3 RedHat /usr
/dev/hda5 <swap>
/dev/hda6 Debian /
/dev/hda7 Debian /usr
in MBR is installed lilo booting RedHat on /dev/hda1
so you have to do the following:
1. insert Debian CD and install lilo into /dev/hda6 (not MBR !!!)
- that will make /dev/hda6 "bootable" for lilo from RedHat
2. then reboot into RedHat and in lilo.conf insert :
other=/dev/hda6 ...
3. boot and in menu or text choose /dev/hda6 and it will load
lilo installed in /dev/hda6, there choose the default image (or it
will load it automatically) and boot into Debian
... Then if you want, you can edit lilo.conf in Debian in order to
just load the default image and not ask nor wait.
Debian lilo.conf should look like:
lba32
boot=/dev/hda6 # IMPORTANT !!!
root=/dev/hda6
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
default=Linux-default
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux-default
read-only
# restricted
And RedHat lilo.conf:
lba32
boot=/dev/hda # IMPORTANT !!!
root=/dev/hda1
prompt
delay=100
timeout=100
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
default=Linux-RedHat
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux-RedHat
read-only
# restricted
alias=1
other=/dev/hda6
label=Linux-Debian
# restricted
alias=2
The step with inserting Debian CD is not necessary,
you can do this from RedHat, just edit lilo.conf (boot=/dev/hda6)
and run lilo, and then edit it again (boot=/dev/hda) and run it again
Bye.
