Tim,
I was able to dual boot WinXP & linux from the same drive using the following
lilo.conf (fragment):
image="/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r5"
root="/dev/hda5"
initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r5"
label="Linux-2.4.20"
other = /dev/hda1
label="Windoze-XP"
table = /dev/hda
I can't see why this wouldn't work with win2k as well. Allthough last time I
multi-booted with win2k, the linux & windoze partitions were on separate
drives. An alternative is to use the windoze boot-loader to multi-boot
between windoze an linux, works just as well (at least with separate drives)
I'm currently using grub as a boot loader, with the following incantations:
title Gentoo Linux (2.4.20)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/hda5
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r5
title Windoze XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
cheers
