Subject:   HELP: Booting Linux from SCSI drive with Boot Easy
Message-ID:  <35472A46.669805C0@aldigital.co.uk>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I've installed FreeBSD 2.2.6 on an IDE disk.  This disk also has a
DOS/Windows95 partition.  I have a SCSI disk containing Linux.  The SCSI
disk has 2 partitions.  sda1 is swap, sda2 is /, has LILO installed on
it and is bootable.  When I boot the machine, Boot Easy (?) has 3
entries along the lines of

FreeBSD F1
DOS     F2
disk2   F5

F1 boots FreeBSD, F2 boots Windows95, F5 hangs the machine.

Can anyone explain 

a) what's going wrong when I press F5
b) how I can convince Boot Easy to start Linux with this setup?
