Re: Multi-Boot Problem
Hi Jean-Yves: I'm so imporessed by your "Lilo Jump" :)) Can you tell me more details about how you do it? For example: 1. How do you install lilo into /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda5 at the same time? 2. Where do you put the configuration file for the lilo of /dev/hda5? 3. Can you attach your configuration files for lilos in your replying letter? Thanks so much :) Jack From: Jean-Yves Barbier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Jack Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Multi-Boot Problem Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 15:02:37 +0200 Jack Lee wrote: > ... >I can't solve the problem because > I find /dev/hda2 is out of the 1024 > cylinder area.

Re: Multi-Boot Problem
Hello, I have the same problem, but I have two partitions for Dos/Dr-Dos and then Linux like: hda1c: Dos 6.22 + WfW 3.11 hda2d: DR-Dos 7.03 with TCPIP and DJGPP hda3Linux-Root/Boot hda4Linux-Swap hda5Linux-User I have tried to boot with LILO but I can boot the hda1 (c:) only. If I like to boot hda2 (d:) I get "Starting Caldera DR-Dos" and the computer hangs. If I like to boot Linux 2.1 I get "LI" and the computer hangs. Can anyone help me too ??? Thanks in advance Michelle Oh yes, I have forgotten a question: I have some Harddisks and it is better, if I install the Dos/WfW and DR-Dos on seperatld harddisks like: (Conner CFP 850A) hda1c: Dos 6.22 + WfW 3.11 (Conner CFP 210) hdb1d: DR-Dos 7.03 with TCPIP and DJGPP (IBM DAQA 33240) hdc1Linux-Root/Boot 1200 MB hdc2Linux-Swap 100 MB hdc3Linux-User 1795 MB At 18:54 21.08.1999 PDT, you wrote > This was the original Message: MK>Hi: MK> MK> I'm currently using Debian on MK>/de/hda1, which is 2G.
