I have a dual boot system with Windows 98 on the primary master IDE disk (hda) and Redhat 7.2 on the second hard disk (primary slave IDE, hdb). The problem is that I have the primary slave disk in a removable configuration. I can physically remove the disk and replace it with another. I wish to be able to boot Win98 with a different physical disk in that "slot". I currently run LILO. When the MBR is read from the primary master disk, it then loads LILO from the secondary slave. When I have replaced the secondary slave with a non-linux disk, it can't find LILO and this hangs the machine.
At first, I thought I should just restore the MBR to a Windows-only boot and use the boot floppy to load Linux. This works but it is slow since it reads vmlinuz off of the floppy. Now, I used to run Linux years ago and I used a floppy. I seem to remember that it just had LILO on it and actually booted from the kernel on the hard. It was very fast. Is this no longer possible? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
