Lilo, Dos, and an interesting attempt
I'm trying to setup my computer so that I can boot to Win95, Linux, and
Dos (basically for dosemu). I have the dos partition on a SparQ disk
setup as master on the secondary controller. When I disconnect my drive
on the primary controller, I can boot to my SparQ just fine. I setup Lilo
to point to /dev/hdc (which is my SparQ in linux) and installed it. Upon
trying different variations to make sure mine was right, lilo installed
itself on my drive on the primary controller. I can boot to all
partitions but DOS. It tells me "Non-System disk or Disk error" when I
try. I'm assuming this message is coming from the boot record of my
SparQ, but don't know why. On the upside, dosemu gives me the same
message when I try to use this partition, so if I fix one, I'll probably
fix both. Do MS OSes not allow themselves to be booted from a partition
that is not the primary master or something? Can anyone help me out or
provide any help? Thanks.
