<H2><A NAME="ss5.1">5.1 Using the Solaris boot manager</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>When booting, the Solaris boot manager gives you all 4
|
|
primary partitions for choosing which to boot from. If you had
|
|
your boot loader installed on the boot sector of a primary
|
|
partition, everything should be fine. Just boot from this
|
|
partition, and Linux should come up.
|
|
<H2><A NAME="ss5.2">5.2 Using lilo</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Now you have lilo as a secondary boot loader, but you want
|
|
it to be your primary boot loader again? No Problem. Lilo
|
|
can easily chain boot Solaris. Just add the appropriate
|
|
<CODE>other=</CODE> lines to your lilo.conf
|
|
<P>For testing, you should add the Solaris chain loading to
|
|
the lilo in your boot sector first. Then try chain loading
|
|
lilo, Solaris, lilo, Solaris, ... until you have enough of
|
|
it. If this works, you should be able to put lilo back into
|
|
the MBR again.
|
|
<P>However, Solaris might have messed up your partition
|
|
table. This has happened on my system after installation of
|
|
Solaris 8. Lilo doesn't like the new partition, nor does
|
|
fdisk. I had no problems with Solaris 7
|
|
<H2><A NAME="ss5.3">5.3 Using grub</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>Unfortunately, I have no experience with grub booting
|
|
Solaris. If you do, please mail me!
