Subject: LILO 0.7 can't boot DOS (?)
Date: 13 Jan 1993 05:59:47 GMT
I've finally managed to install SLS 98p5 (yes, I know I'm somewhat behind!)
and have it boot from disk using lilo 0.7. However, it doesn't seem to be
able to boot my DOS partition now - when I try, the machine tells me "can't
find DOS file" or something like that.
I followed the instructions in [email protected]'s LILO QUICK START GUIDE
(thanks, Matt, it really helped) and my config file now looks like
boot = /dev/hda
compact
install = /etc/lilo/boot.b
map = /etc/lilo/map
image = /Image
label = linux
root = /dev/hda1
other = /dev/hda2
table = /dev/hda
label = drdos
I have one 130 Meg IDE drive which has three partitions: linux (/dev/hda1,
64 Meg), DR-DOS (/dev/hda2, 10 Meg), and an extended DOS partition
(/dev/hda3, with a single logical drive /dev/hda5, 56 Meg). If I boot DOS
from a floppy disk and examine the hard drive, the so-called C: drive is
the linux partition, the D: drive is what should be the DOS C: drive, and
the E: drive is what should be the DOS D: drive.
Any guesses about what my problem is? All help will be greatly appreciated.
