Re: [TCLUG:20355] have disk with win95
Partial success..
I got the drives all switched around and everything appears correct.
Redhats hardware detection "Kudzu" is pretty nice and works well. It
noticed everything I did and allowed me to change config easily.
I now have an hdc that I can mount and browse under linux but I can't
boot from it. There must be something wrong with the boot record?
My lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
linear
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=linux
read-only
root=/dev/hda5
other=/dev/hdc1
label=win
When I type "win" at the lilo prompt I get only:
Invalid system disk
Replace the disk, and then press any key
Which seems like a pretty standard windows message
Any suggestions?
