Set up MSWindows/NT or MSWindows/2000 and it will automatically set
up a dual boot for any DOS or MSWindows/95 system installed. If you
install MSWindows/95 after installing MSWindows/NT it will break the
MSWindows/NT boot mechanism and you'll have to repair it.
Next install Linux but don't let lilo install a master boot
record (although in my recipe below I do). Instead have it install a
boot record to the root partition. You probably also want to create a
boot floppy so you can boot your Linux system the first time after
installation.
MINI and Velox (98.28): After compiling the kernel set up
dual boot. Use LILO to install boot sect in MBR. On MINI
/etc/lilo.conf is:
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda2
Run lilo:
After running lilo (if you overwrite the master boot
record--MBR) you can no longer boot into MSWindows/NT immediately. But,
lilo stores a backup MBR in /boot/boot.0300, so don't
despair. Copy the lilo boot sector to file then restore the
MSWindows/NT MBR using lilo -u.
The recipe is:
# dd if=/dev/hda of=/root/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
# mcopy /root/bootsect.lnx a:
# lilo -u /dev/hda
# reboot (into NT)
C:\>copy a:\bootsect.lnx c:\bootsect.lnx
C:\>attrib -s -r c:\boot.ini
C:\>notepad c:\boot.ini
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=C:\bootsect.lnx
[operating systems]
C:\bootsect.lnx="Debian GNU/Linux"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows..."
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows..."
C:\>attrib +s +r c:\boot.ini
C:\>reboot (into Linux)
