Hi
I have a system with Windows 95 on an IDE drive, and Debian potato
on a SCSI drive, hung off of an old DPT PM2021/9x controller. This
controller does not appear to be mapping the SCSI disk to D: like I had hoped
and expected.
Presumably, I cannot use LILO to dual-boot the machine (after all,
how would the machine let LILO see the partition with the kernel?). Up to
now, I have been booting off of a floppy, and that is torture. But it seems
SysLinux might be able to do the job. How might I use it? Can I call it
from Win95, or only after an MS-DOS boot? I took a look at
/usr/share/doc/syslinux/syslinux.doc
and it seems that booting from DOS mode would not be a problem, so long as I
keep a copy of the kernel around, but I'm not so sure of this business of
messing with the MBR. Where would that get me?
