Re: setting up multi boot system
You can get multiboot using lilo, that'll give you what you want, here's a
little example (my own lilo.conf) (I removed uninteresting things):
image=/boot/bzImage-2.4.0-test1c1
label=2.4.0-test1c1
read-only
image=/boot/bzImage-2.2.15c1
label=2.2.15c1
read-only
image=/boot/bzImage-2.2.14c4
label=2.2.14c4
read-only
image=/boot/bzImage-2.2.14c3
label=2.2.14c3
read-only
image=/boot/bzImage-2.2.14c2
label=2.2.14c2
read-only
image=/boot/bzImage-2.2.14c1
label=2.2.14c1
read-only
other=/dev/hda3
label=bla
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxOLD
read-only
optional
other=/dev/hda2
label=FreeBSD
alias=fb
I got linux on hda1, freebsd on hda2 and windows on hda3.
