From: swaliff@afterlife.ncsc.mil (Steve Aliff) Subject: Can a boot start on C: and complete on D:? Date: 1 Sep 1992 16:08:46 GMT
Having spent some time playing with Linux, I'm ready to get serious
about it and wish to install it in a more-or-less permanent fashion
on my system. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm stuck with MSDOS for
a while yet in order to use my CMS tape drive and maybe a few other
nit-noy things.
I have two IDE drives; the primary drive is a 105MB quantum, the
secondary is a 200MB Maxtor. I had planned to dedicate the 105 to
DOS and the 200 to Linux. However, after playing with Linux for a
few days, it appears to me that I may need a small Linux partition
on the 105 in order to boot Linux from the hard-drive. (I'm thinking
ROOT would go on the 105.) Is this true or is there a program
similar to SHOELACE which will let me optionally boot MSDOS from my
105 OR Linux from my 200?
Any and all advice is welcomed.
TIA,
