In the last note I put to the "linux-config" mailing list (see below), I inadvertantly referred to the version of SlackWare as 1.3. Actually I have version 3.0.0. All else is correct. Please help, if any exists.

I believe I 'm doing everytnig properly but, there is still something wrong here. Without going into all of the details, I essentially have LINUX (SlackWare 1.3) installed onto a P120 with two EIDE 2gb hard drives (the 1st one for Windows NT and the 2nd for Linux) along with an assortment of other periphials. I have made the correct disk drive size geometry reference in "/etc/lilo.conf" using the keywords (append = "hd=3893,16,63 hd=3893,16,63") and linear. I have successfully installed LILO so that using a floppy, I can boot from the second partition "/" on the second disk drive -> "hdb2" (the 1st partition is MSDOS.) When I run "fdisk -l" I receive no errors. Therefore I am convinced that the LILO configuration is solid. Also, I know Windows NT boots just fine everytime. As per many references on "how to" correctly multi-boot with NTLDR, utilizing "bootpart V1.1" I have attempted to create a boot sector file to be placed into the Windows NT "boot.ini" file. The file is created, however it doesn't boot LINUX. Has anyone else experieneced this behavior? Any Ideas as to what may be happening here or what I may be doing wrong? >>> >>>Regards, >>> >>>Robert Beazley >>> >> >
