I know you've said that you don't want to do it any more, but I managed it and
I'm a newbie ;-)
Heres how I did it:
I have one hard disk (hda), with windows installed on the first partition
(hda1), RedHat installed on the second partition (hda2) and Caldera installed
on the third partition (hda3). The way I got round it was by installing Lilo
on the MBR of the first partition, from here I can choose whether to load
Windows, RedHat or Caldera. Windows and RedHat were easy, because the RedHat
installer set these up automatically. When I installed Caldera I chose to
install a second copy of Lilo on Caldera's root partition (hda3), this loaded
just Caldera instantly - I set the timeout to 0.
Finally, in the lilo.conf file for RedHat, I added the following:
other=/dev/hda3
label=caldera
This loads the version of lilo installed on the caldera partition (hda3).
So, to sum up: the lilo.conf installed by RedHat reads:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=redhat
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=redhat
read-only
root=/dev/hda2
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
other=/dev/hda3
label=caldera
And the lilo.conf installed on the caldera partition reads (something like this
- i no longer have the system setup like this, but the installers should do
most of it automatically):
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=0
linear
default=caldera
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.xx
label=caldera
read-only
root=/dev/hda3
Hope this helps,
Tom Davis
