We use some Compaq servers here.  I typically wipe out the Compaq utilities.
The few times I've needed them, I was able to boot with the CD's it came
with and access the utilities through there.  It's a little inconvenient to
do this, but it does allow you to do away with their partition.

Subject: Dual Boot Compaq Proliant


I'm trying to install a dual boot Windoze 2000 Server/Redhat 8.0 on a
Proliant 1600. In the past when I've installed Linux on Compaq servers I
always put Grub on the 1st sector of the boot drive because Compaq uses
the MBR for getting to it's utilities. In this case I'm trying to dual
boot so I installed Windoze first so the the Redhat install sees it,
etc, etc. 

Problem is that I chose the 1st boot sector, but that turns out to be on
the second disk, not the first, so it goes right to Windoze. 

Anyone know how I can do this? Install Windoze and and then RH8 and
still be able to access Compaq's utilities using the F10 key. Do I have
to install RH8 in the MBR and then mess with adding Compaq's utils to
Grubs menu? (tried that in the past following Compaq's web site, but I
wasn't successful) 

Any suggestions are appreciated. 

James
