Help with triple booting
I know people do this, but I seem to have no luck with getting lilo to cooperate. I love to experiment with different distros. I am always constantly trying new ones out. When I try to add a new distro to a lilo or grub file I must do it wrong, because I always get an error saying error loading chainloader +1 or something like that. Can't I just add the lines pointing to the partition I have the new install on, here is an example of my lilo.conf file:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img
read-only
append="hdd=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"
other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=DOS
other=/dev/hda6
optional
label=hda6
I had gentoo on /dev/hda6 and it doesn't boot
Also is there a way to always keep home on a seperate partition so its always there. Can I just add a line in fstab on every distro to access all my files in the home directory. Thanks for any help.
P.S. I am currently booting with grub, but I'm not too good with it either.
