Hello All,
I have 2 Hds. Hda has W2K, and I just reduced that 19 gig HD with
Partition Magic, and made another primary partition/slice for FreeBSD,
about 8.1Gb. I installed FreeBSD 4.0 Power-pack with my CD rom...
using the default automatic slice setups on that primary partition
(without its bootloader). All went well no problems. Hdb has Linux,
and I have been using the latest LILO for a boot loader seems like
forever.. I added the following to the end of my lilo.conf,
other = /dev/hda2
table = /dev/hda
label = bsd
fired it up again. Lilo accepted this without errors, and upon reboot,
lilo shows me BSD, but it will not boot, for some reason, BSD will not
boot, telling me I have a read error. The other 2 OSs, are fine.
Can some one help, so I can enjoy my BSD? I have checked HOWTO's, etc,
based on what I found in this group's archives, made the changes, but
to no avail as the read error upon booting into BSD.
----entire lilo.conf-----
boot = /dev/hda
vga = normal
read-only
prompt
timeout = 50
lba32
message = /boot/message
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = linux
root = /dev/hdb3
initrd = /boot/initrd
image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse
label = suse
root = /dev/hdb3
initrd = /boot/initrd.suse
other = /dev/hda1
label = windows
other = /dev/hda2
table = /dev/hda
label = bsd
Thanks for your help.
