Hi,
I installed Windows 98 on a primary IDE drive. Once it was running, I
made this drive the secondary, while leaving the primary my Linux+NT
installation, having this configuration:
Primary IDE drive: NT+Linux
Secondary IDE drive: Windows 98
I boot my computer using the NT Loader and configured lilo as explained
in the Linux+NT-Loader mini HOWTO.
I've added to the /etc/lilo.conf file an entry for botting Linux
(image=...) and an entry for booting Win98 (other=...).
When I run
lilo -t
it complains saying:
Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible
(or something like that)
In the User-Manual.ps for lilo I read that lilo writes this warning
because some old bioses cannot access secondary HD or floppy drives.
My BIOS does see them, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Anyway, I ran lilo, copied the boot sector so that the NT loader can
boot LILO.
Linux boots Ok, but when I select to boot Win98, the lilo loader
complains:
Error 0x01
Just that.
Any comments?
I tried writing the following lines in the other=... section of
lilo.conf
other=/dev/hdd
label=win
loader=/boot/chain.b
map-drive=0x82
to=0x80
map-drive=0x80
to=0x82
But, lilo -t displays the same warning, and the Error 0x01 still shows
up.
Thanx in advance,
Leo
