retiredff Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 (edited) Hello, My setup is: hda=win98 20g hdb=mdk9.0 80g I want to install mdk10 on hda and remove win98. Will the install program see mdk9.0 on hdb and configure lilo properly, or is there something I should do so I can boot into either OS? TIA Edited July 4, 2004 by retiredff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredff Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 (edited) Well, I guess the worst thing that can happen is I have to boot to rescue, then edit my lilo.conf so my hdb is accessible.

bvc Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Well, I guess the worst thing that can happen is I have to boot to rescue, then edit my lilo.confso my hdb is accessible. not if, on the new install you choose to not install the bootloader and add the new install to the current bootloader ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredff Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 (edited) bvc, thanks for the reply. here is my current lilo.conf: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map vga=normal default=linux keytable=/boot/us.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw ignore-table image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hdb1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label=failsafe root=/dev/hdb1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="failsafe devfs=nomount hdc=ide-scsi" read-only other=/dev/hda1 label=windows table=/dev/hda other=/dev/fd0 label=floppy unsafe The 'other=/dev/hda1' would be changed to something similar to the default only using hda instead of hdb, correct? Thanks Edited July 5, 2004 by retiredff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feralertx Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hi there! What you could do as well is install lilo on a floppy, this way if the lilo.conf editing doesnt work for any reason, you can always login to MDK 10 via the floppy... just an idea though. good luck!
