Hi,
I am trying to to install and boot dos + dos + linux with lilo.
This is just for learning.

Don't bother, you cannot, Windblows has to be in charge of all it's own booting, therfore lilo hands it over to windblows.

I read thruogh all lilo docs and manual but I do not seam to find it. Maybe
it is there but I do not understand.
I done the following.
Create 2 dos primary partitions - dos fdisk refuses.
Done it with part/Magic - if you try now fdisk marks it non-dos - refuses to
make it active so can not install dos on second pri part.
Funny dos is quite happy to install 2 same dos versions if the second part
is is logical.
The problem now is that lilo can not boot the second dos.
Lilo is quite happy to boot dos - linux - linux.

It's not lilo it's dos that's not happy.


Technically it is possible to boot all linux OS's from windblows bootloader, I did it once a long time ago, but frankly it's not worth it , it's tedious and time consuming to do and the lilo/dos chain bootloader method is far easier and more convenient. No stilck to lilo - windblows.
