lilo.conf setup in slackware?
im having trouble setting up the lilo bootloader in slackware 9.0 installer im on a dual boot. with win2k and win2k is on my primary drive. linux is on my secondary. i need to have an option before boot to boot into whichever one i want. im new to this lilo conf file. when i had mandrake 9.1 it did it for me. any help is needed.
|
try 'liloconfig' as root. what filesystem r u using for win2k? ntfs or fat?
u can try posting your lilo.conf file and your partitions layout (via fdisk -l /dev/hdx). |
I'd really appreciate it if you placed your Slackware questions in the Slackware forum. I've already moved about 5 thus far. You know I'm not getting paid to do this, so why not make it easier on me and just place them here. Thanks.

BmxFace, I have premade a lilo.conf for ya:
========================= Code:
lba32 # Allow booting past 1024th cylinder with a recent BIOS 'fdisk -l' Looks where is your Win an Linux it should be smth /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda5 :) it depends :) |
ups, after you change the lilo.conf, write:
lilo If some errors appear, post em here :) I'll help |
try lilo -v
|
Add this to the end of the above /etc/lilo.conf
other=/dev/fd0 label=floppy unsafe Then u may later boot ur created disk. Run in command prompt: lilo -v -v -v |
