HI Guys
I seem to have lost my access to boot Zenwalk ( I assume its to do with
lilo)
Here is my boot conf.
What do I need to add to Grub to boot Zen?
title Zenwalk
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/sdb1/vmlinuz
initrd /boot/sdb1/initrd.splash
savedefault
I cant seem to suss how to setup grub to boot this.
Cheers
Bob
Look in /boot/grub/menu.lst
See what the other entries are and copy and paste your zenwalk bits in.
Make it the second or third entry so that if it all goes wonky you can
still auto-boot into a valid grub-wise install.
I did this some time back and it worked perfectly - never did like
LILO :)
In /dev/disk you can see what the drive is named by id or label. Maybe
using sdb1 is the problem, eg. sometimes sdb needs to be called hdb, if
it's a IDE drive. You should use the id or the label. You can set a
label by using tune2fs or you simply use the id, that always is there
and the same for each distro.
I attached my /boot/grub/menu.lst as an example for different types of
entries.
Hth,
