aru Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Apart of using SDMF's lilo.conf as a template you should take a look to lilo.conf(5) man page which provides a windows/linux dual boot explained example. Also, which is your partition schema? because depending on where is located your windows partition you'll need to do more or less work. As an example, two harddrives, Linux in first IDE as Master and M$Windows in first IDE as Slave; As M$Windows wants to be the primary master in order to boot this is how the lilo.conf's windows entry should look like: other = /dev/hdb1 label = windows98 table=/dev/hdb map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x81 map-drive = 0x81 to = 0x80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
