I installed arch and overwritten MBR for grub.
I edited menu.lst but it still doesn't find slackware kernel:
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 3265 26226081 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 3266 3527 2104515 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 3528 6161 21157605 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 6162 30401 194707800 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 6162 30401 194707768+ 83 Linux
sda1 -arch
sda3 - slackware
Code:
# (0) Arch Linux

chainloader +1

root(hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz rw root=/dev/sda3
I tried both with chainloading and pointing to the kernel (I'm not sure if slackware's lilo was installed on MBR or /dev/sda3)
That's slackware's /boot (/dev/sda3)
Code:

In both cases it says that it couldn't find it.
Please, advise.
