Re: Linux + Win95 + Win NT on one HD
I got this setup.. in fact.. I even have FreeBSD to do a quad boot.
However... I am not positive if you can directly boot off of a hda6... since for
me to successfully implement the quad boot, I had to make 3 primary partitions.
Windows 95, FreeBSD, Linux. They all mount different drives... Windows NT is
sitting on a logical drive on an extended partition. I use NT Bootloader. Make
sure you ran the
dd if=/dev/hda6 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
and cp the bootsect.lnx to your FAT C:\ somehow. Modify the boot.ini. (I am
assuming you did this.. but just in case).
If that fails to work... odds are you need to make a /hda3 as your
"/" root.
