Well, after all, I cannot boot off of anything on the second disk.
I first tried a boot manager called gag, that runs off a floppy. I
figured that this would be easier than messing with liloconf. No dice,
it does not seem to want to boot off the second HD. I suspect it has
something to do with the fact that I have the /boot on one partition and
the / on another.
Then I tried Lilo, and that doesn't work either. I have the following:
hda1 is my win partition
hda6 is my Mandrake 1 partition
These two can boot fine
hdb1 is my Mandrake 2 /boot partition
hdb11 is my Mandrake 2 / partition
Lilo won't accept anything I try for the second disk. I have tried:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
root=/dev/hdb1
label=md
I thought this would tell it to look in the /boot partition and find the
right kernel, but no dice. I get a message saying there is no init.
Can this really work with seperate /boot and / partitions?
