I'm trying to get lilo to boot a Win95 disk which uses FAT32, but it freezes.
The configuration is as follows:
2 physically different drives (Quantum Fireball and WD Caviar)
/dev/hda contains Linux and lilo. Primary master (WD caviar disk)
/dev/hdb contains Win95 FAT32 version. Set up as Primary Slave.
Both operating systems work OK when run as primary master drive.
/etc/lilo.config is as follows:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
append="bmouse=3"
image=/boot/kernel_99
label=linux
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
other=/dev/hdb1
label=win95
table=/dev/hdb1
I can boot into Linux OK. But when I try to boot windows I get
Loading win95
Then things just freeze and sometimes the floppy drives whir.
Can someone explain to me exactly what the table entry does in this situation
and if it is necessary (lilo documentation is very vague)? Does Windows require
that it is on the Primary Master disk? Does lilo work with FAT32 systems (using
lilo version 20)?
Many thanks for any help
