NetBSD, Redhat Linux 8 and Windows XP??
I'm downloading NetBSD right now. I want to make a multiple dual boot with Windows XP pro, Redhat Linux 8 and NetBSD. I never ever used NetBSD by itself or with one or more OS. Is there a certain way to partition with NetBSD for me to have a multiple dual boot?? I know at one time i tryed Windows XP pro, MS-DOS 6.22 and Redhat Linux. It could not do it. If someone has some information on how to set up a multiple dual boot please reply back. I put this in the Linux Newbie forum because i'm a learner to almost everything. Thanks guys.

just add other = /dev/hdx #x for the drive
label = xxx into lilo.conf |
I really don't understand what that meant. I have no clue what to do when NetBSD is complete. Please reply back.
|
do you use lilo on startup
|
no i use grub. I currently have Windows XP and Redhat 8 as a dual boot. I wanted to add NetBSD. Please reply back. Thanks.
|
i dont know anything about grub sry
|
ok then lets do it your way. When NetBSD is complete i'm going to use Lilo. Can you help me with Lilo?? Please reply. Thanks.
|
its very simple here is my /etc/lilo.conf il explain what the things do:
Code:
boot=/dev/hda < this is where your boot disk should be Code:
other = /dev/hdx #hdx means hda hdb etc the drive you have xp on cheers erling (just ask) |
I was really getting a good look at that and it does not seem easy. I never had a multiple dual boot before. I have a feeling when i set up this multiple dual boot i probably going to screw thing up really bad. I'm more likely good at that. Please reply back.
|
I got like 5 hours left on my download. I hope someone is around to help me. That's a estimate time.
|
nothing to worry about i was a noob when i had problems with
lilo and i know pretty much about lilo and its hard first but after a while you get the hang of it cheers erling if you mess up lilo just try again |
Windows Xp would come first right?? Then what Redhat Linux 8 or NetBSD?? I don't understand the lilo. Can we take this step by step?? Please reply back.
|
just add first xp and then or do you have kcontrol on your red hat
because there you have a lilo configurator just press probe on that and then youl get a working lilo |
lilo is prettu simple its just some simple commands to start the
distro just try to learn them from my post |
read this lilo thing: http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/workshops/li...tall/lilo.html
