Hehehe. I'm glad I don't have to put up with 98!
My question.
On my PC, I have two hard disks installed. The first one is--get
this--125 MB or so. Long ago I had to DoubleSpace it so that I could
actually do things with it. That was just fine. I accepted the fact
that it was no undoable. Then I got Windows 95, which promised that it
would be able to undo it (guess what--it can't even reboot into the
special mode for exorcising DoubleSpace). I made do for a while, but I
eventually got a big disk (3 gigabytes or so, I think) and installed it
as well. Since I don't have documentation to tell me how to change
which drive is the first one, I'm stuck with booting from that little
disk. In order to start Linux, which is on the second partition of the
second disk, I need a boot floppy.
My question: How can I get LILO to prompt me on which OS to use on
booting without the use of floppies?
Caveat: The second disk can't be recognized by DOS unless a special
Ontrack driver is loaded (which is loaded from the first disk's master
boot record).
Well?
