See if you have chos installed in the hard disk boot area and lilo installed in a partition boot area. If so, you could use the dos fdisk /mbr to blow away chos. -- Charles B.

chos, lilo, linux, win98, oh my!
Has anyone out in debian-userland managed to get chos to boot Win98? I have
it installed on a small drive at /dev/hdc1. If I set my bios to boot drive D
Win98 works great. But the following entry with chos gives me errors.
bootsect Windows 98 {
color=lightblue
image=/dev/hdc1
}
I would go back to using lilo, but after running lilo I still get chos at
boot time. Any help with either would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely confused,
Robbie
Re: chos, lilo, linux, win98, oh my!
That config doesn't really sound right... I mean, image=/dev/hdc1 would
imply that the image IS that drive. Shouldn't it be something more like
root=/dev/hdc1 or something like a lilo config? I would seriously just go to
lilo. Can you not remove the ``chos'' package through dselect? If not, just
remove it from the initialization scripts in /etc/init.d/

If not, just remove it from the initialization scripts in /etc/init.d/ -dan That config is the best I could make of the example file in /usr/doc/chos. There doesn't seem to be a root= sort of option. As for removing the package, well, I could, but that would still leave chos installed as the bootloader. I can't get lilo to replace it. Hope that clarifies the situation. Many thanks, Robbie
