Enabling boot of existing Win98 install on second disk under Grub menu
Hi,
Still working my new installation of Linux, etc. I have several OS images installed on a new SATA disk, plus an original Win98 install I'm moving off of which is on an existing SATA drive. The original Win98 disk is now on the secondary SATA port (swapped disks), and I am booting from Grub that was installed as part of a Fedora Core 5 installation on the new disk (now primary). The FC5 install shares a disk with a new (totally unused) Win98 install and a Solaris 10 U1 installation. In the short term, I would like to be able to boot into the original Win98 from a Grub menu choice. I tried what I thought would be the solution (see last section of grub.conf provided below), but this does not work - the menu entry is there when I boot to grub but it just comes back to the same menu if I try to select it. I've included df and mount command outputs from within FC5 to provide further information. I would appreciate the information I need to revise my grub.conf file to enable booting into the original Win98 install. Code:
[donv@localhost ~]$ df -m Code:
[donv@localhost ~]$ mount Code:
[root@localhost donv]# more /etc/grub.conf |
looking at your last code section....

Thanks wantabee... that post got me to the ultimate location of http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/gru...aq.en.html#q10 which explained the magic so I could make it work for Win98. I ended up changing my grub.conf to the following and it worked like a charm!
