I'm trying to install Mandrake, Debian, Gentoo, UnitedLinux, and Slackware on a LILO bootloader with Win2000 Server and WinXP. How is the best way to get all my distros on one bootloader?
hda1: Win XP Pro
hdc1: Win2000 Server
hde6: Slackware 9
hde7: Gentoo 1.4
hdf6: Debian 3
hdf7: United Linux 1.0
hdf8: Mandrake 9
I'd recommend using grub for this task. But if you want lilo, you want a config that looks a little something like this. You'd want to choose one distro to do this from. Let's say slackware.
boot=/dev/hda (or whereever you want it) prompt timeout=150 lba32 compact vga=normal
image=/boot/bzImage label=slackware root=/dev/hde6 image=/mnt/gentoo/boot/bzImage label=Gentoo root=/dev/hde7 image=/mnt/debian/boot/bzImage label=Debian root=/dev/hdf6 image=/mnt/united/boot/bzImage label=UnitedLinux root=/dev/hdf7 image=/mnt/mandrake/boot/bzImage label=Mandrake root=/dev/hdf8 other=/dev/hda1 label=WindowsXP boot-as=0x80 other=/dev/hdc1 label=Windows2000 boot-as=0x80
Before you run lilo, you would want to mount the various other distro's partitions under /mnt like in the config so lilo can find their kernels.
