I am unable to make lilo boot NT.
Linux' / resides on sda1. Lilo wrote the MBR on sda, using lilo.conf below.
NT is installed on sdb (achieved by physically unplugging the power to
sda in order to fool
it into thinking that sdb was the only disk; no way else could I get
my OEM NT Workstation cdrom to install on the 2nd disk); so c: and d: are
partitions sdb1 and sdb2, resp. If I continue with the power off to
sda, then NT boots fine, using its "own" MBR on sdb.
When I have both disks powered up and try to use Lilo to boot NT I get
a message to the effect that ntldr (located in c:\ ) isn't found. I
know that I can't specify
ntldr's location using "image =" because it pertains only to linux.
Is there another way to do this?
I don't know what the "table =" accomplishes. Should a different
command be used?
# Start LILO global Section
boot=/dev/hda
...
# Begin First linux boot option
image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda1
label = linux
# End first linux boot option
# Begin Second (old) linux boot option
...
# End 2nd linux boot option
# Begin NT boot option
other = /dev/sdb1
label = NT
table = /dev/sdb
# End NT boot option
