There are several ways to do this, I guess.. I have Debian on hdb and
Mandrake on hda. I keep the kernels on the respective FS's.. On
Mandrake, /boot is in the root partition, hda5, and on Mandrake, /boot is
on its own partition ,hdb1..
I run lilo from Debian, and, when I run it, I just mount hda5 on /mnt, and
have an entry in lilo.conf like, "image=/mnt/boot/vmlinuz".. of course, if
Mandrake's /boot were on its own partition, the same image would be
"image=/mnt/vmlinuz"
the map and boot.b stuff I include are those of the Debian system.
Do you have your System.maps installed in their respective locations?
