I have a stage 1
install on my Celeron laptop. I followed the instructions on the install guide
and I cannot get the installation to boot.
The layout of the
drive is as follows:
/dev/hda1 -
NTFS
/dev/hda2 - ext3
(Mounts as /boot)
/dev/hda3 - ext3
(Mounts as /)
/dev/hda4 -
Swap
I want to use
Windows XP's boot.ini as the manager since my machine is majority in Windows
anyway. I used bootpart to make a file to load.
Now, I can get LILO
to work except that it will not boot my linux partition but will boot XP just
fine. But when it does work, it breaks the Windows XP boot
sector.
I have gotten this
configuration to work for Slackware 9 but I would prefer to switch to Gentoo for
the portage advantage. I am guessing I am missing some sort of step that the
LILO install for slackware does behind the installation
interface.
Thanks,
Jon
