Hi - I have set up a test machine as follows;
Partition 1 - Windows 98
Partition 2 - Windows 2000 Professional
Partition 3 - Windows 2000 Server
Partition 4 - Red Hat 7
Partition 5 - Linux Swap File
They all installed without any problem, and can boot from the NT loader all
windows OS's without any dramas. I can boot to RH 7 if I insert the floppy
boot disk I created on install also, but I would like to get RH 7 into my
boot loader. So far I have done the following;
booted in linux;
dd if=/dev/hda7 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt (with a win98 boot disk inserted)
cp /bootsect.lnx /mnt
unmount /mnt
then booted in windows;
copied bootsect.lnx into c:\
edited boot.ini to include the following;
c:\bootsect.lnx="Red Hat 7.0"
the extra extry then appears in the boot menu, but when selected just makes
the screen go blank and eventually reboots. I am pretty sure that when I
boot to linux from the floppy the partition which linux is installed onto is
on /dev/hda7, so what have I done wrong?
TIA
Raoul
