If you wish to boot from your harddisk, you will need lilo and need to
install in on the mbr of your IDE disk. (I assume, your BIOS won't let you
boot off your SCSI disk directly)

Install linux normally using the Boot/Root/Rescue disk and let the system
make a boot floppy for you. Make sure, the Windows 95 partition is marked
bootable.

Boot from the just make boot floppy, then make a /etc/lilo.conf like:
- 
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/sda1  # -- depending on the number of your root partition
linear  # -- this might or might not be needed
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
timeout=50
prompt
other=/dev/hda1 # -- depending on the number of your Win 95 partition
  label=Win95
image=/vmlinuz
  label=Linux
  read-only
- 

run
   /sbin/lilo -v
and reboot. 

Now to boot linux you need to type
 linux
at the LILO: prompt and press Enter

Nils

SCSI Linux IDE Win95 on same box?

1997-12-06 Thread William R. Ward 

Hi,

I'd like to ask for some advice on a new system I want to build.  I'd
like to have a Windows 95 filesystem installed on an IDE disk and a
Linux (Debian 1.3.1) on a SCSI disk.  I have a generic EIDE controller
with HD and CDROM currently, and will be installing an Adaptec 2842 in
addition with a SCSI disk on it.

I already have Win95 on the IDE disk I want to use, and want to
install the SCSI disk.  Do I need to do anything special to get it to
boot properly?  Always before I've had all-Windows or all-Linux boxes,
to make things simpler, and basically I'd like some advice on how to
set this up.

I would also like to be able to access the Win95 partition from within
Linux.

--Bill.
