LINUX NEED SUPPORT FROM MS?!: booting from hdb with lilo
Thanks! when running lilo, it warns that it's not 1st
drive, except that, all is normal. below is output of
"lilo -v". i know workaround, hdb1 is win98, i can
boot into 98 and use loadlin, if it were win2k or XP,
it may be harder, but MS can boot from 2nd IDE drive,
why lilo can't do the job? DOES LINUX NEED SUPPORT
FROM MS?! if lilo could do the job, dual boot would be
much easier.
