[aclug-L] Re: Dual boot dual drive question

[Michael Holmes <maholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

YOu say your running Loadlin?
If so, you should be able to edit the batch file in windows, which runs the
loadlin program if it was originally it read something like:

loadlin c:\(whatever directory it is in)\vmlinuz(bla bla bla)
root=/dev/hd(a something) {here is where you would change it to b something}  ro


that simple.  

I put my batch file in the linux directory.  I have another batch file in
autoexec.bat in the C:\ directory which ask if I want windoz or LINUX, it then
executes the linux.bat file, which is my loadlin script.

if you are running LILO, then someone else will have to help you, as I have not
had good luck with LILO.
