Well, I have installed LINUX, successfuly. The problem is with LILO.
As far as the lilo documentation says it should be possible to boot
from any bootable partition and at boot time this shall be asked to the
user, I have never seen it so I assume it is something like
which partition to boot from (1,2) ? :
where the user enters his choice. I believe I followed the instructions in
README and have created a install script. The problem I encounter is that no
such question is asked. The systems goes straight to the LINUX boot and does it
Actually there is also a bootable DOS partition which was declared by a
script line
other=
which is following the linux boot info (in the script file). The interesting
stuff is when I remove the linux boot lines from this script file and leave
the one (other=..) for DOS alone, then DOS bootes automatically.
What is the point I miss? (is it only possible to boot automatically?).
Do I have to do each time an install to get the next boot from the partition
I want?
I will appreciate greatly any help.
