What would I do here? When I try loading linux, with the following
configuration choices:
# Linux Boot...
# *** This file is...
# List kernels at...
List: [09][09]off
#
# Timeout...
Timeout:[09]300
#
# Partition containing kernels
Root:
*ADFS::4.3
(from !Linux.Choices)
When I load !Linux, I get
Press alt to access boot loader_
Then the program quits (is it loading the "RISC OS" option?)
If I modify the choices so that I get a list, I get
-> 1: RISC OS
2. Linux
RISC OS appears to be the default. If I select 2, then linux loads no
problem.
My /etc/boot.conf file reads as follows:
config {
root = "/dev/hda3";
};
riscos {
name = "RISC OS";
};
kernel {
name = "Linux";
path = "/boot/vmlinuz";
root = "/dev/hda3";
flags = readonly;
args = "";
};
How can I get it to load Linux straight away when !Linux is loaded, rather
than RISC OS, so that if I put !Linux in my !Boot file, and start the
computer, it will go straight into linux, without loading RISC OS
instead, or bringing up menus?
I am sorry to appear naive, but I really cannot work out how to do it!
Thank you very much for your help, or indeed anyone's help.
