Check out http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/gvollant/bootpart.htm.  
He has written program that will create a boot sector file for your 
Linux parition.  I use NT 4.0 and Debian 1.2, abnd I boot from the NT 
Loader ... It works like a charm ... He has directions for Linux, as 
well as, DOS ...


Thanx.  See ya round.

Re: [LILO / NT Bootmanager] - correction

1997-05-03 Thread Shawn McGovern
A correction to my previous post:

>/dev/hda1 - win95 (for games, also contains NT boot loader)
>/dev/hda3 - linux (set to active, lilo is installed here - not the mbr)
>/dev/hsa1 - NT 4.0
  
 /dev/sda1 - NT 4.0 (referenced in boot.ini)

whoops!




Cheers,

Shawn

Hi Thomas,

I do it like this:

/dev/hda1 - win95 (for games, also contains NT boot loader)
/dev/hda3 - linux (set to active, lilo is installed here - not the mbr)
/dev/hsa1 - NT 4.0

The BIOS automatically boots off /dev/hda3, since it is active, and thus
into lilo. From the lilo prompt I type 'win' if I want to start NT loader.
This is set up in lilo.conf as type 'other' and just points to /dev/hda.
This fires up the NT bootloader which presents me with the menu from
boot.ini on /dev/hda1 (or C: from windows point of view), I then pick
which windows I want and way it goes.

Note: lilo is not installed on the mbr. I don't think this works if it is.

Mail me back if you need to see my lilo.conf and boot.ini and I will mail
them to you.


Cheers,

Shawn

[LILO / NT Bootmanager]

1997-05-03 Thread Thomas Aardal Hanssen
Hello, I have a few q's about booting:
1)I have NT4.0 on my pc (sorry to say, but I need it...), and
I would like to be able to boot both of my OS'es from a single
bootmanager. I haven't found any docs or faqs about whether or not
LILO or bootmanager/NT support eachother, only OS/2. Is there
anyone who could tell my how to boot from /dev/hda to my NT
partition /dev/hda3 as well as my Linux drive, /dev/hdb ??
(My swap is on /dev/hdb5)

Thanx.
