Hi,
I too faced the nearly same problem a couple of days back. Guess the
solution as I worked out for the PC on which this deadly combo is working
might be machine specific but still I'm sending it in. The board was a i810
w/64 M RAM, integrated AGP, sound etc. I used SUSE for the Linux part. the
sequence was Windows NT--->Windows 95--->SUSE. a bit of work needs to be
done on both ends(NT and Linux). Or to be on the safer side u could use a
boot floppy to boot linux everytime, though that is a highly irreliable
method of doing it. the partitioning is standard 2047M primary DOS for
Win95, 4001M of extended w/FAT16 logical parts of 2017 and 19xxM for NT and
the rest unassigned. But that is for my system(8.4G HDD)...yours would
differ (but u get the drift ie.). The Lilo Configurating file should look
like this :::
**************start of lilo.conf*****************************
boot=/dev/hda
prompt
timeout=100 # Wait for 10 s at the prompt warten, before the default
system
# is booted.
vga = normal
# configure Linux boot partitions
image = /vmlinuz # Please adapt this : The kernel
root = /dev/hda3 # Please adapt this : The Linux root partition
!!
label = Linux
# configuring the Linux boot partition : end
# configuring DOS/Win/WinNT boot partition
other = /dev/hda1 # Please adapt this : start partition !!
label = DOS # whatever you like
table = /dev/hda # Please adapt this : must be sda with SCSI
instead of hda !!
# configuring DOS/Win/WinNT boot partition: end
******************end of lilo.conf************************
Next install Lilo on the MBR by issuuing
$ /sbin/lilo
You shouldn't have a problem but with Windoes you never know. Do let me know
if it works for you and also if it doesn't cause there is another way by
which you actually make Windows bend back and boot Linux from the NT Boot
Loader!!! yes that too can be done.
regards Imtiaz
