Thanks, this is very insteresting. I had assumed that multi-boot
NT/linux could be done ony from lilo, now I learn that it can be done
with the NT loader.
Just one question on the dd command below: the first parameter in
reality is if=/boot, right?

sorry it was a mistake, the command is dd if=boot
device* bs=512 count=1 of=linux.bin (*ie. /dev/xxx).
I do have that configuration and it works fine.
Actually you don't ever need lilo (unless you load
initrd or are feeding kernel parameters).If this is
your case just uninstall lilo
I'm helping a friend install RedHat7.3. I realize now how good the MDK
distributions are!
We are trying to have a dual boot with W2K. The problem is that after RH
installation, LILO does not show the W2K option. No problem, we think,
let's boot in linux and insert in lilo.conf the additional
Raffaele,
did you install lilo on your root / partition or on
your master partition?
Do you want to dual boot your machine or only mount
your ntfs partition? If you want to mount it you have
to compile the ntfs module at least and then go with
modprobe or insmod. That doesn't depend upon Lilo.
That's what I thought, and I did exactly as you write. But, running lilo
to update the bootloader, we got the error message partition not found
or something alike, and the bootloader was not changed.
Thanks for the link, I was quite surprised seeing that ntfs is not
included in RH. I guess MDK
Leonardo,
we installed lilo on the first sector of the /boot partition, as
reccomended by the RH help for NT-linux coexistence on the same disk (in
case of W95/98-linux coexistance it reccomended to put lilo in MBR
instead), but I admit I did not understand why.
What's this difference between
