I am unable to get W98 to boot without disconnecting the first disk. The bootloader comes up with option F5, disk 1, but that just boots the first partition on the primary disk. I've looked at boot0cfg but that just shows the 3 partitions on the primary disk. How can I let the user boot from W98 as well as the other 3 partitions? As an aside where does boot0cfg -v get the information from, is it fdisk, and what does the falg field mean? Please reply to me directly as I don't subscribe to the mailing list.
