Hello,
here I have a problem to boot Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 with
GRUB. The BIOS ins't flashable and, unfortunately, I can't
boot LINUX above the 1024th cylinder because the LBA mode
wont work anymore.
So I partioned the bootdisk with a /boot partion into this
limitation:
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 4095 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 955 481288+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 2379 4095 865368 6 FAT16 (QNX RT 6)
/dev/hda4 956 2378 717192 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 956 1006 25672+ 83 Linux (/boot-partition)
/dev/hda6 1007 1514 256000 83 Linux (/ [root])
/dev/hda7 1515 2378 435424 6 FAT16
If I install GRUB on a floppy-disk and I want boot Linux from
the / (root) partition it wont work because the kernel-image
is above the BIOS-Limit.
Which entry must take place in menu.lst that Linux will boot
with the kernel-image into the /boot partition?
bye - Wilhelm
