Hello everone, I just got a Veridata 486SLC notebook with
DR-DOS on it. I wanted to install Linux on about 95Meg of
the total 120Meg so I went through the process as described
in the SLS readme etc (NOTE: I've actually donethis once
before on a 486DX jobby with MS-DOS) and I can get one or the
other to boot but (having set up the DOS partition with the
DR-DOS fdisk);
If I set up the partitions and save the partition
table to disk in say Linux, then DR-DOS doesn't boot.
similarly, if I set it up in DR-DOS, Linux doesn't boot.
I suspect that DR-DOS doesn't have a standard partitioning
scheme similar to OS/2 (see the FAQ)
[Q] has anyone else experienced this with DR-DOS and Linux?
Just thought I'd tell everyone since I haven't seen it
mentioned explicitly.
