I am having some difficulty adding a 2nd Linux (Slackware) to grub in SuSE 9.0 It is on hda4 and using Yast2 should I be able to mount it as / ? but it seems I can't because SuSe is already /. How can I get hda4 (Linux Native) to be mounted and show up at boot.
Thanks
Who owns your GRUB? I assume SUSE. Therefore most straightforward to work from SUSE. Understand the GRUB config. files first - <info grub> will help you. I don't always succeed with YOU on configuring GRUB, if YOU doesn't work then you can do it manually by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst. Copy the whole block for your SUSE boot and edit for slackware [ I have very little idea what is required, but I imagine you need a kernel, which will need a root and you will need an initrd] The / directory exists at boot and the kernel attaches the device it is told. Just because a particular device is mounted as / now should not prevent you specifying another device for a GRUB entry hth Vince Littler
