Bug#243011: os-prober: installation report (beauty, but some issues)

[Frans Pop <aragorn@tiscali.nl>]

Retested with 20040420.

Works perfectly now with GRUB! All options are shown and can be booted.

I've also tested with LILO this time.

On first reboot, LILO booted almost straight into the newly installed system. 
It is not obvious that other OS are available.
I checked /etc/lilo.conf and found that "prompt" was commented. I think maybe 
this option should not be commented _if_ other OS have been found (and maybe 
also the "timeout" option). This would show the boot menu with available OS 
listed.

There were only 4 entries in lilo.conf
- Linux         - default boot & root (/dev/hdb9)
- LinuxOLD      - same (not loaded as there is no vmlinuz.old)
- WindowsNT     - /dev/hda3
- Windows9xME   - /dev/hdb1

So my Woody (/dev/hda5) and unstable (/dev/hdb8) partitions are not added. Nor 
are the other entries in my old lilo.conf (like Memtest).
Is this expected or a bug?

The WindowsNT entry is my Windows 2000 system; maybe this entry could be 
renamed "Windows2kNT"?


Cheers,

FJP

P.S. I also selected the 2.6 kernel image for the new installation; seems to 
work fine with my hardware at first glance :-)
