I did. At one point, I had three OS viz. NT, Linux and Win 95. The first
partition had Win95 and NT. It was a FAT partition. The second partition was
ext2(Linux Native) nad the third was Linux Swap. I installed lilo on the
second partition and made the second partition the active boot partition
with the fdisk utility. At boot the lilo kicks in first, from lilo I type
'dos' and control shifts to the first partition. Then the Multi-boot menu of
NT kicks in thereby I get a choice of NT or 95.
The easiest way to achieve this config is:
1.Make the necessary partitions.
2.Install 95 on first partition.
3.Install NT on the first partition.
4.Install Linux on the second partition, when prompted select the second
partition as the partition for lilo.
5.Lilo will correctly recognise another OS on the first partition and create
a pointer called 'dos'.
6.Make a bootable floppy and copy fdisk into it.
7.Boot from the floppy and run fdisk.
8.From fdisk make the second partition the active boot partition. Save the
changes.
9.Reboot after removing the floppy.
10.Voila! You have three Os on a single system.
Statutory Warning: If you mess up your machine or data in the process do not
blame me.
