OK - multi-boot. hda1 Win2k hdc1 Win2k hdc6 boot for debian
hda1 is a bog standard win2k system hdc1 contains it's replacement to be run under vmware under debian in hdc6. Trying to set it up so that either lilo (installed on hdc but not in the mbr) or ntldr (on hda1) can boot both systems - am not bothered which way round (this config is needed until everything is up and running - then hda will be removed). Have been thru the multi-boot howto. Setup 1 Machine set to boot from hda NTLDR contains the extra line c:\bootlinx.bin="Linux" bootlinx.bin is created from dd if=/dev/hdc6 of=bootlinx.bin bs=512 count=1 This boots to the NTLDR - choose Linux - blank screen with a flashing cursor - no further. Tried with Bootpart - that gave some text about it being "Bootpart ..." then died when it tried to actually trigger the boot. The win2k on hda1 boots fine. Setup 2 Machine set to boot from hdc Lilo has other=/dev/hda1 label="Win2k" Boots to LILO - choose Win2k - you get the message "Can't find NTLDR". Debian on hdc6 boots fine. Now - is this possible with the table= or other lilo conf lines? Do I need to move to GRUB (hope not)?
