Re: INSTALL:dual-boot
Yes. Use lilo. Here's a copy of my lilo.conf.
boot = /dev/hda
root = /dev/hda2
read-only
compact
install = /kernel/boot/boot.b
map = /kernel/boot/map
vga = normal
prompt
timeout = 300
image = /kernel/vmlinuz
label = Linux
image = /kernel/vmlinuz
label = Rescue
root = /dev/hda3
read-only
other = /dev/hda1
label = Windows
table = /dev/hda
Lilo installs the MBR AFTER windows is installed, since win95 will replace
the MBR.
I have a small (2.5MB on /dev/hdb3) partition for kernel images that I
mount under /kernel. I just copied the /boot dir to /kernel/boot and
vmlinuz and System.map to /kernel. This is to compensate for the 1023
cylinder limitation lilo has (I don't use LBA).
I use the same kernel image for my 20MB rescue partition on hda3 for now.
I will be putting a stripped kernel image in /kernel for rescue.
Put this in /etc/lilo.conf edit it for your system and run lilo. When you
reboot it will prompt you for the OS/Image to load for 30 sec's (timeout
300) before autoloading the first Image in the file.
