lilo

[mikey_111]

Hi,

I would like lilo to do something and I'm not sure it can, and most certainly I don't know how to make it do it. I've tried searching and I've made a decient attempt at reading the lilo user documentation under /usr/share/doc but I'm still lost.

 

I have 2 ide hardrives and on the first 1 (hda) I have windows and mdk9.2

hda1=windows

hda5= /

hda6= swap

hda7= /boot

hda8= /var

hda9= /usr

hda10= /home

hda11= /opt

and on the 2 (hdb) I have mdk9.1

hdb1= /

hdb5= swap

hdb6= /home

 

What I would like to do is to be able to boot to hdb and use mdk9.1 as an option in my lilo menu. The only way I was able to do this was someone showed me how to make directory under /mnt and mount /dev/hdb there and then edit the lilo.conf to point to the mount location and run lilo. But when I updated my kernels on the 9.2 and 9.1 I messed up my lilo.conf. Is there a better way? Possibly is grub the way to go?

 

Advice appreciated :-)

Thanks cannonfodder,

I was wondering if a way around that but, mounting works just fine.
