Ok, I need to load Win95 on a partition of my machine and turn my machine into
a dual boot machine again. However, I'm having a bit of trouble. Here's the
situation. I've got
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 9 72261 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda2 10 137 1028160 83 Linux native
/dev/hda3 138 306 1357492+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda4 307 523 1743052+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 307 434 1028128+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda6 435 523 714861 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
Where /dev/hda4 is an extended partition containing hda5 and hda6.
Hda5 is a linux partition and hda6 is the dos partition. I'm using lilo in the
MBR and I've formatted the hda6 partition as FAT16.
My lilo.conf looks like this:
append="mem=128M"
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-3
label=2036
root=/dev/hda2
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.36-3.img
read-only
other = /dev/hda5
table = /dev/hda5
label = msdos
When I run lilo to install this file, I get
Added 2036 *
Partition entry not found.
So its not happy with my DOS parition. I have no idea what is wrong. I've RTFM
so I figure I'm just not seeing it. Its been years since I dual booted a linux
box with anything other than multiple linux distributions.
