| | Does anyone know how to set up LILO to boot another hard disk with Plan 9 installed on it? I'm Installing it on the other hard drive, and then hooking it up as a slave and setting up LILO to give me an option to boot into Plan 9 on that drive. Anyone have any ideas? |

It's quite simple actually. Lets assume that your first drive is /dev/hda1 and second drive with Plan 9 is /dev/hdb1. Another assumption is you've got Linux+Lilo installed on the either drive with lilo being set to boot from the first drive. In your /etc/ folder you'll find a file called lilo.conf. It looks somewhat like this. boot = /dev/hda
vga = normal
read-only
prompt
default = dos
timeout = 30
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = linux
root = /dev/hda2
initrd = /boot/initrd
This configuration is set to boot DOS from first partition of your drive and Linux from a second partition. The first line here, boot = /dev/hda tells lilo to install itself on the MBR of the first drive and boot using it. Assuming you've got Windows and Linux on the first one, and Plan 9 on the second, your config file should look like this: boot = /dev/hda
vga = normal
read-only
prompt
default = WinXP
timeout = 30
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
image = /boot/vmlinuz
label = Linux
root = /dev/hda2
initrd = /boot/initrd
other = /dev/hda1
label = WinXP
table = /dev/hda
other = /dev/hdb1
label = Plan9
table = /dev/hdb
Once you've made these changes to lilo.conf, save and quit. Now you've to run lilo once to read the config changes. It resides in /sbin/lilo - so simply run, shell> /sbin/lilo
Added Linux
Added WinXP *
Added Plan9
The * beside WinXP tells you that it is the default boot OS. To make Plan 9 your default OS, you should type: shell> lilo -D Plan9
That should do it for you....

QUOTE It resides in /sbin/lilo Nice tutorial, miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG ! I learned a lot with it ! Just a simple comment, on some systems like mine, it's not /sbin/lilo, it's /etc/lilo.

Boot Error On Customized Kernel [solved]
(2) Hey guys, I'm getting into some trouble on my newly compiled kernel. I had no issues compiling
a kernel before but I'm getting booting issues. I guess it could be some type of SATA support
issue since this is the first time I had a SATA drive. However, I'm very sure that I compiled
SATA support right into the kernel instead of it being a module. This is my filesystem config:
