Hi! I was reading this thread and I want to comment what happens to me. I have win98 installed in /dev/hda1 and linux somewhere else (suppose /dev/hda5 or something like that) If I configured vmware to boot from /dev/hda1 it gives an error... but if I configure to boot from /dev/hda., vmware goes to lilo... then I could choose to boot the already running linux (muy loco esto :) ...) o boot win98 from /dev/hda1. What I see is that if you use vmware you must think that is another machine making use of your hard disk..... in this case /dev/hda.... and you can't boot /dev/hda1 without lilo... except that you have the mbr clean... (remember format /MBR from MS-DOS). ALF -- "I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door.
