I'm having trouble writing a lilo.conf file that will do what I want it to do. I can't seem to get around a specific error.
My setup: 2 hard drives. /dev/hda is linux only (3.2 G) /hda1 is a bootable linux partition (primary) /hda2 is swap space (primary) /dev/hdb is dos/windows only (400 M) /hdb1 is a bootable dos (6.2) partition (primary) /hdb2 is an extended dos partition (logical) My lilo.conf file looks like: #global boot = /dev/hda1 single-key prompt #linux image = /vmlinuz root = /dev/hda1 label = l read-only #dos other = /dev/hdb1 table = /dev/hdb label = d When I hit "l" I get what looks to me (I'm new at this) to be a good linux boot. When I hit "d" I get an error that looks like (if I'm remembering the details correctly): Non-system disk or disk not available error Insert correct disk and hit any key when ready Yet I know I can boot dos off of that disk. I've been doing so for years. Until now I've been switching between OS's by going into the bios and selecting a boot sequence that boots off of the disk with the OS I want (my bios supports a lot of boot sequence options). Both linux and dos boot up fine this way. It's only when I try to boot up dos using lilo that I can't seem to get into it. I can't find anything in any of the docs that suggests what the problem might be or looks like this error message. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, Kevin
