I have had good luck configuring LILO with yast(easy way) on Free
BSD, SCO and Solaris as well as NT 4.0. First I recommend putting lilo on
a safe floppy since you may have to reboot Solaris etc. during
installation. Install Solaris, then boot to Linux from the floppy.
Start Yast -> system administration ->kernel and boot config ->Lilo,
then,
config name solaris
which os OS/2 (works for me)
partition to boot dev/hda?
Continue and put Lilo back in the mbr and you should be set.
Funny thing, if you try to see Solaris from Linux you see swap space. I
believe this is since Solaris partition id is 82 as with Linux swap.
Aside... you may want to try compiling pppd for Solaris as aspppd is every
bit the nightmare on x86 machines that everone says it is even with all
of the info out there ;-). Just download the (Solaris platform)source in
Linux, cp to a dos disk and you can get it onto Solaris.
