I have installed my suse on the second hard drive of my system. This drive came out of an older system that required a dynamic drive overlay. My current system provides me the ability to configure which device I boot off. I would like to boot off Lynix drive. I am not sure how to do this. Perhaps I just need to read up on LILO. Merely setting the boot device to hdc in the CMOS did not cause LILO to install the Linux MBR to the second HD. It attempted, without sucsess, to install to the HD where my NT w/NTFS is installed.
Right now, when I attempt to boot off hdc, I get an error from the Disk Manager which (I believe) resides on the MBR. I believet that this could be fixed by replacing this drive in the hda position and using DOS fdisk. I do have an ancient copy of DOS 6.22. It bothers me that I would need to resort to using this obsoleete method to do anything, especially solving a Linux problem.
Even if I were able to put the DOS MBR on the dirve, I still don't know how to make it boot Linux.
Any pointers?
It sounds like you have the type of setup that would benefit from "System Commander", it allows all sorts of configurations. zentara -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
