hm, I cant get it to work.
This is my postinst.sh:
echo "--- this is postinst.sh ---"
if [ -n $LEGACY_BIOS_HEAD ] ; then
echo "We have $LEGACY_BIOS_HEAD legacy bios heads to work with"
if [ "$LEGACY_BIOS_HEAD" == "240" ] ; then
echo "..ohoa 240 heads,.. ..patching disk manually..: "
#FOR IBM R52 AND R51
echo -e -n "\xf0" |dd of=/dev/sda1 bs=1 seek=26 conv=notrunc
mkdir -p /mnt/drive
mount -t msdos /dev/dsk1 /mnt/drive
echo -e -n "\xf0" |dd of=/mnt/drive/\$win_nt\$.~bt/bootsect.dat bs=1
seek=26
conv=notrunc
sleep 30
fi
fi
echo "--- end postinst.sh ---"
The Thinkpads is the only machines I have that report 240 heads so I was
thinking I could get away with the extra ifs..
..and they seem to be correct for me..
dd is patching both places.
But, windows wont start up. I dont get the ntdlr missing message , It just
loops on the first windows startup screen.
So, now I wonder what differences we have in our setups...
