Dear Jean-Louis,
I'm not familiar with Windows NT's boot.ini file. this is what is looks like
so far:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version
4.00"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version
4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos
Given that windows is on the Master HDD in the primary IDE, and Linux is on
the Master HDD on the secondary IDE, do you know what the entry should look
like to include Linux?
Just to be clear with what you are saying: do you then suggest that LILO
should not be controlling the boot for the machine, and only the boot for
Linux, so that I let windows NT handle the choice of OS at boot time?
Thanks.
Jaime
