Hi DaZ,
regarding the "Can't make lilo boot into the NT loader" I have
successfully got this to happen, as far as I remember (going off the
top of my head here) all you had to do was to tell lilo what partition you
were looking at and the NT loader would pickup from there. Aka in my
situation I think it was just a matter of adding :
other=/dev/hda1
label=win
to lilo.conf. Having said that though, I have a thought in the back of my
head which seems to think I pointed it to /dev/hda instead. But I suspect
that'd just put you back in lilo so I don't believe it (but am mentioning
it just incase :-)).
Hope that is of some use. It's been a while since I did it but I don't
remember it being too painful.
Cheers
Kieran,
