Hi, I read the Multi OS tutorial http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multios/multios.html. Its great. But I have an additional question. I have two disks on my PC. The first disk has two partitions - one for Windows 95 and one for FreeBSD. I'm using Boot-easy and I can boot up into either just fine. I added a second hard disk and installed Slackware Linux 3.0 with Lilo on it. When I boot up Boot-easy gives me the following menu: F1 . . . Dos F2 . . . FreeBsd F5 . . . disk 2 When I select F5, I get F1 . . . Linux F2 . . . Linux F5 . . . disk 1 Problem: F1 starts Linux just fine. F2 doesn't do anything. I have the second disk split up into a Linux Native partition and a swap partition. I think Lilo is detecting the swap partition and presenting it as bootable. This isn't correct is it? How do I make the swap partition invisible? Kirk :)
