Re: [SuSE Linux] dual booting Solaris and Linux
I have SuSE running fine on my machine. I use lilo to boot it and have lilo installed in the MBR. I want to add Solaris for some compatablility testing I am doing with some java code. Will lilo >boot solaris? How do I dual boot these beasts without going to a >floppy. I know this doesn't help much, but yes, you can dual boot with LILO. I just don't know how. If you find out, I would greatly appriciate it if you would pass the info this way. It can be done though.

I have had good luck configuring LILO with yast(easy way) on Free BSD, SCO and Solaris as well as NT 4.0. First I recommend putting lilo on a safe floppy since you may have to reboot Solaris etc. during installation. Install Solaris, then boot to Linux from the floppy. Start Yast -> system administration ->kernel and boot config ->Lilo, then, config name solaris which os OS/2 (works for me) partition to boot dev/hda? Continue and put Lilo back in the mbr and you should be set. Funny thing, if you try to see Solaris from Linux you see swap space. I believe this is since Solaris partition id is 82 as with Linux swap. Aside... you may want to try compiling pppd for Solaris as aspppd is every bit the nightmare on x86 machines that everone says it is even with all of the info out there ;-). Just download the (Solaris platform)source in Linux, cp to a dos disk and you can get it onto Solaris. Mike On Mon, 28 Dec 1998, Rick Chandler wrote:
