Re: Dual Booting (Part II)

[Sir Hoagy of the Marshlands <consigliere@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, it's failing miserably.  Here's why:

Every time I want to boot Linux, I have to physically
take the case off of my hard drive, move the jumper
on the Linux drive from "slave" to "single".  Then,
and only then, can I boot Linux.  It will *not* boot
any other way - not even with a boot diskette.

I made the change to the very first line of lilo.conf,
where it says:

boot=/dev/hda

to read

boot=/dev/hdb1

I ran lilo, and it said:

'/dev/hbd not configured'

Of course, since I'm *only booting the Linux hard
drive*, it has itself (the Linux hard drive) as
/dev/hda, my cdrom as /dev/hdb, and so on and
so forth.

I..am..totally..lost

I can't boot Linux from system commander...says the
Linux boot partition /dev/hda1 isn't formattted.

I can't change lilo.conf - says /dev/hdb1 isn't
configured.

Unless I'm missing something *really obvious*, I'm beginning
to suspect that I *cannot* dual-boot in my current state.
