Hi,
I am trying to to install and boot dos + dos + linux with lilo.
This is just for learning.
Don't bother, you cannot, Windblows has to be in charge of all it's own
booting, therfore lilo hands it over to windblows.
I read thruogh all lilo docs and manual but I do not seam to find it.
Maybe
it is there but I do not understand.
I done the following.
Create 2 dos primary partitions - dos fdisk refuses.
Done it with part/Magic - if you try now fdisk marks it non-dos - refuses
to
make it active so can not install dos on second pri part.
Funny dos is quite happy to install 2 same dos versions if the second
part
is is logical.
The problem now is that lilo can not boot the second dos.
Lilo is quite happy to boot dos - linux - linux.
It's not lilo it's dos that's not happy.
Technically it is possible to boot all linux OS's from windblows
bootloader, I did it once a long time ago, but frankly it's not worth it
, it's tedious and time consuming to do and the lilo/dos chain
bootloader method is far easier and more convenient. No stilck to lilo -
windblows.
