mikey_111 Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 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 :-) mikey_111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
