Hello world !
Is it possible to boot OS/2 with *only* LILO (no LOADLIN, BOOTLIN, OS/2 Boot
Manager,...) ?! Where should I place LILO and how should I configure it
to work so, and how should I partitioning my HD (wich sys on wich type of
part.) ?
I have a Seagate 1GB(!) and want to boot DOS, OS/2 and Linux from it.
My (current) partitions are:
hda1: dos ("kernel")
hda2: os/2
hda3: <hda5,...>
hda4: linux kernel
Whenn I installed OS/2, it changed my dos partition to unkonwn type (from
1 to 11), and I can start OS/2 and Linux using LILO installed on the root
partition (hda4). Wenn I change the hda1 (DOS) partition type back to 1,
I can boot DOS and Linux with LILO (same conf.), but I cannot boot OS/2
(which takes the DOS partition as drive C, and (of course) cannot find
some files to init the system).
I read that LILO is very flexibel configurable, but I cannot find the
right one for me...! Is there somewhere a OS/2 loader (os2_d.b don't work,
also any_b.b, any_d.b) which changes the partition types where DOS and
OS/2 resides, so I can boot them *normaly* ?! Maybe I can write one (if I
had the time), but I don't want to re-invent the weel, and I cannot
imagine that I am the first with these problem... :-( So, please help me !
Thanx for your help/suggesstions,
Schoene Gruesse,

You need the very latest version of LILO. It can hide and unhide partitions.

Sure. I have OS/2 on /dev/hdb1, and
other = /dev/hdb1
label = os2
table = /dev/hdb
loader = /bootk/boot/os2_d.b
in lilo.config.
