Can't boot Openindiana in a winxp/slackware14.1/OI multiboot system
hi, i've got openindiana installed along with slackware14.1 and windows on an USB hard drive.
the sequence of my installation is windows -> openindiana -> slackware 14.1.
the bootloader is using slackware LILO. on the LILO menu, i only have windows and SL, Openindiana is missing. how do i get back and boot the Openindiana partition (sdb2)?
here're the setup:
Code:

just looking, I'd say this is a Slackware question. Because you are using Slackware lilo to do something. even though it is not a Slackware OS you want Slackware lilo to deal with. You should ask this be moved to Slackware, you might get a better response to this question.
