Install Backtrack 2 side Slackware 12

Hello guys
i have a slackware 12 , i want install backtrack 2 side slackware 12 .
in backtrack i want use from slackware partition . ( home , ...)
i want both use from a partition together.

Code:

/etc/fstab :

/dev/sda9      bt        ext3      Defaults    1    2

i can't use cdrom , and i must install backtrack from hard.
so , i did configure lilo .

Code:

/etc/lilo.conf :

image = /bt/boot/vmlinuz

root = /bt/BT

initrd = /bt/boot/initrd.gz

label = BackTrack

:wq

-------------

root@ware:~#lilo

"Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed

Added Winhole *

Added Slackware

Added BackTrack

One warning was issued."

------------

root@ware:~#init 6

restarted .
correctly added BackTrack label in Boot Loader (LILO) and starting to load Scripts
but typed this errors :

Code:

*  -> mount: Couldn't setup loop device

Cannot read module data. corrupted download?

/proc/splash: No such file or directory

VFS: Cannot open root device "0" or unknown-block(0,0)

Please append a correct "root =" boot option

:Pengy:
i don't have any cd for write and boot backtrack with cdrom :pso help me for boot and install this live distro from hard.

Copy /boot from /dev/sda9 (BackTrack) to /boot/backtrack (on Slackware root partition). Then modify /etc/lilo.conf:

Code:

image = /boot/backtrack/vmlinuz-<kernel>.<complete>.<name>

initrd = /boot/backtrack/initrd.gz

root = /dev/sda9

label = BackTrack

ok so i got success in installing backtrack 2. So now i've 3 o/s running on my machine. XP, Slackware and backtrack.
i followed http://digg.com/tech_news/Install_Ba...on_a_harddrive and now backtrack is running fantastically. But this is not all done. As Road_map has suggested, you will have to copy the /boot from the backtrack and copy that into the slackwares /boot as the bootloader would be of slackware. And accordingly make changes in the lilo.conf of slackware.
