Multibooting gotchas

Installing a multiboot system can make you tear your hair out. This
section is meant to prevent you from going bald.

If you're installing a multiboot sysyem that includes a consumer
version of Windows (95, 98, or Me), always install Windows before you
install anything else. The consumer versions of Windows are very
stupid and have no idea that other operating systems may exist on the
same machine. They will always want to take partition 1 on your first
hard disk and will overwrite other boot loaders during installation.

The same rules applies to Windows NT/2000: always install Windows
first. The reasons are slightly different, but the upshot is the same.
The NT/2000 boot loader really, really wants to be installed in the
MBR and be the One True Boot Loader for the system. Resistance is
futile.

To get the NT/2000 boot loader to boot a UNIX partition, install UNIX
and then boot to it using a floppy or CD-ROM. You'll need to peel of
the first 512 bytes of the UNIX partition (this is the partition boot
record), and write them to a file. You can do this with the dd
command. Here is an example from Linux:

# dd if=/dev/hda2 of=linux.bin bs=512 count=1

You must then copy this file to the NT/2000 partition and andd an
entry to the NT boot loader configuration that tells it how to boot
using this file. We don't describe the NT boot loader in this book,
but all you really have to do is add a line to C:\boot.ini that
contains the file's path along with a label. For the Linux case, the
line would look something like this:

C:\linux.bin="Linux"

For more information about the format of the boot.ini file, see the
on-line Microsoft Knowledge Base at support.microsoft.com.

If Linux and Windows NT/2000 are cohabitating, LILO will need to be
installed onto Linux's disk partition, since the MBR is already spoken
for. To do this, have the *boot* line in lilo.conf point to your Linux
partition. For example, if Linux is on the second partition on the
first IDE hard disk, the line would be:

boot=/dev/hda2

You'll need to make this change *before* you copy the second-stage boot
loader to a file and transfer it to the NT partition. In fact, you
will need to repeat the entire process whenever you rerun lilo.

Disclaimer: Saya tidak punya NT/2000, jadi belum pernah menjalankan
hal yang saya kutipkan di atas. Kalau ada yang tidak jelas, jangan
tanya saya. Beritahu saya kalau Anda sukses.
