GRUB is either totally unusable on my system, or I can't figure out how
to configure it so it would work while Lilo works like a charm.
I have two hardrives on my system with Win98 on my 3 gig master c: drive
and Windows for Workgroups 3.11/Dos6.22 and Redhat 8.0 installed on my
13 gig slave drive (primary fat 16 partition)
This is my lilo config:
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
read-only
append="hdc=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"
other=/dev/hda1
optional
label=DOS
other=/dev/hdb1
label=win31
table=/dev/hdb
map-drive=0x80 to=0x81
map-drive=0x81 to=0x80
And this is what my grub config would look like before I gave up on
with 7.2 it because it either wouldn't boot the Windows WFG 3.11 partition
or gave me a drive error message when it did. After Grub trashed the partition
on my c: drive I dumped it and went back to lilo:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd1,1)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb2
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hdb2 hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img
title Windows 98/DOS 7.0
rootnoverify (hd0,0)

title Windows WFG 3.11/DOS 6.22
map (hd0) (hd1)

rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
title DOS 6.22 Boot Disk
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader (fd0)+1
Maybe someone can figure out why I can't get Grub to boot my
WFG 3.11/DOS 6.22 partition from my second harddrive.
I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Chris
