But you can fool Windows. I have DOS 6.22 on /dev/hda1 and
Windows ME on /dev/hdb1. The following stanzas in menu.lst let me
boot either one, as well as linux:
# For booting DOS
title DOS 6.22 on /dev/hda1
hide (hd1,0)
unhide (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
# For booting Windows ME
title Windows ME on /dev/hda1
unhide (hd1,0)
hide (hd0,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
I may have gone overboard somewhat on the `map' clauses, but it
works for me. I have another DOS partition (for data) on /dev/hdc1,
and the above makes DOS think /dev/hdc1 is both drive D: and E:, which
is a little odd, but no problem.
