lilo.conf issue with Windows
Hello,
I have two drives.
hda=linux install one partition=/dev/hda1 (plus a swap at hda2)
hdg=windows one partition =/dev/hdg1
I'm trying to get lilo to give the option to boot the windows partition at startup time
my lilo.conf looks like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
# lilo.conf created by smart-liloconfig
#
boot = /dev/hda
prompt
timeout = 120
change-rules
reset
image = /boot/new
root = /dev/hda1
label = SMART
read-only
other = /mnt/iso/
label = Windows
boot-as=0x80
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(mnt/iso is where I mounted /dev/hdg1 since it wasn't auto-mounted at boot - infact my system is set up to not automount any other attached drives other than hda)
So, all I want is an option to boot Windows from this other drive at machine startup, but no matter how many variations I try of lilo.conf, they either don't compile, or simply don't work at startup.
Can anyone provide any pointers as to where I'm going wrong?
Thanks in advance,
NiallC
