its not a dos partition?

I tried creating a second primary dos partition with linux' fdisk since dos' won't let me have more than one primary. (my first clue maybe) Then I format with dos.

RE: how to boot from other disk?

1998-07-14 Thread Richardson,Anthony
DOS and Windows (up through Win95 at least) can't be booted from anything other than the first disk. There are ways to fake an OS that only uses the BIOS (DOS) into thinking the second drive is the first one. (LILO's map-drive option can do this.) I'm fairly sure this won't work for Win95 though.

RE: Two Questions

1998-07-14 Thread Richardson,Anthony
Maybe I can help with the boot problem. Debian doesn't use LILO as a MBR boot manager. They use a program known just as MBR. (At least this is true for the bo release, is it true for hamm?) I'm not quite sure why LILO isn't used as the MBR boot manager, because it appears to be superior to MBR in
