Hi all,
This is probably a FAQ and I'm heading there in a minute, but I was
wondering if lilo can be used as boot manager for other than linux and on
other than Intel platforms? I happen to have an IBM (insert shudder here
:) RD/6000 that needs dual boot capabilty between 2 different versions of
AIX (another shudder). My boss, who refuses to listen to any good ideas,
wants to have one of out hardware engineers build a "SCSI switch" that
will swap the SCSI ID of the 2 hard drives and that way always be able to
boot off of the "Boot drive".
What I'd like to do is use lilo and be able to have a menu of available
OSs to choose from. That way the person can choose at boot time, and
there's no danger of some one saying "Hey, what's this switch for?" and
then swap SCSI IDs while on-line! (I'd love to see those crash messages :)
Any idea if this can be done? Or, does anyone else have an idea as to how
to get an RS/6000 to be dual bootable?
TIA!
Seeya,
Paul
