Kendrick, You might find it a lot easier to use the NT Boot loader to boot your linux partition - I'll be trying this myself soon & I'll let you know how it goes - there's a mini howto on the subject
You could also try allowing LILO to boot from /dev/hdc1 boot sector (or whatever it's on) and get the NT Bootloader to boot that partition directly - it should work (in theory anyway) (take a look at the mini howto - it has examples of the syntax for boot.ini - it's a bit like the /dev/xxx style) Hope it goes well :) Proinnsais > -----Original Message----- > From: Kendrick Myatt [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, July 02, 1998 8:03 PM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: Linux/WinNT dual booting (an idea...) > > I'm not sure if my plan will work, but hopefully I'll find out this > weekend.
