|
<P>If things do not work as expected, check bootability with a floppy disk.
|
|
With <CODE>/dev/hdb1</CODE> as your Linux-partition, your <CODE>/etc/lilo.conf</CODE>
|
|
has the following entries:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
root=/dev/hdb1
|
|
boot=/dev/fd0
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<P>Run lilo with a diskette inserted. Now try to boot from the diskette.
|
|
If your Linux on <CODE>/dev/hdb1</CODE> can't be
|
|
started, the NT OS loader will also fail to start it.
|
|
If you see a lot of <CODE>01 01 01 01</CODE>, your root-disk is not accessible.
|
|
Check whether all your disks are known by the bios.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>If the floppy boots your Linux partition, you can peel of your
|
|
boot-sector for the NT OS loader with:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
# dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>You can keep this diskette as your rescue-diskette just in case
|
|
your Windows NT installation breaks.
