I am having problems configuring lilo to dual boot to debian and win98. I have two hard drives: Primary /dev/hda, one partition, /dev/hda1 = win98 boot FAT32 3.2Gb Secondary /dev/hdb, two partitions, /dev/hdb1 = linux boot 4.0Gb
Am I having problems because I didn't make root fit in the first 1024 sectors? I can use lilo to boot to linux on /dev/hdb1, but lilo won't boot to dos. Dos will boot with a dos floppy though, and "sys C:" fixes the messed up DOS MBR, erasing lilo and restoring /dev/hda1 MBR "lilo -v" produces: LILO version 20, Copyright 1992-1997 Werner Almesberger Reading boot sector from /dev/hda1 Merging with /boot/boot.b Mapping message file /boot/message.boot Boot image: /vmlinuz Added linux * Boot other: /dev/hda1, on /dev/hda, loader /boot/chain.b Added dos /boot/boot.0301 exists - no backup copy made.
