Re: multiple boot? win98, winNT, linux?
There is a free utility called partition manager which contains a compact boot manager. This boot manager allows your to boot multiple OS in any partition. I installed win98 on hd1 and linux on hd3. I partitioned hd2 as NFS file system and was going to install NT.

I'm trying to get a machine to boot win98, winNT and linux. 98 and NT both live on sda1, while linux on sda3. Right now the best I can do is get lilo to give me a windows option then that loads the NT boot manager. I want only one boot manager, and I really don't care which one it is.

Re: multiple boot? win98, winNT, linux?
I believe the only way you can choose between Win98 and NT on the same partition is to use the NT partition manager. Fortunately, you can get the WinNT partition manager to boot linux as as option. copy the first 512 bytes of your linux partiton into a file ie: # dd if=/dev/sda3 of=somefile bs=1 count=512 copy that file into your root directory on your win98/nt partition then edit your boot config file and add the line c:\somefile=linux (sorry, I can't remember exactly what this file is called or the exactly format, I haven't done this in a while, but I believe its fairly obvious) set sda1 as the default partition to boot, reboot, and you should be able to boot linux from the NT partition manager. Note: You'll need to recreate somefile, everytime you run lilo. -Original Message- From: Daniel Yang [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED]; debian- user debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Friday, July 16, 1999 3:55 PM Subject: Re: multiple boot? win98, winNT, linux?
