Caldera Linux: LILO win95 tag does not start win95

Caldera Linux: LILO win95 tag does not start win95

Post by Vincen » Tue, 02 Mar 1999 04:00:00



My win95 doesn't start after entering the win95-tag at the LILO start-up
screen.
I'm using Caldera Linux.

When I installed Caldera Linux I created two tags: linux and win95
During the boot process I can display all tags using the TAB-key.

Choosing 'linux' works fine but choosing 'win95' doesn't do anything i.e.
some disk activity directly after the selection but after a few seconds it
stops.

I used the DOS command 'fdisk /mbr' to start win95.
Using LILO from floppy disk might be a solution but I prefer a hard disk
solution.

win95 is installed on hda1
Linux is installed on hda4
I tried the LILO installation on both partitions.

hda2 is used for DOS and hda3 is used as a Linux swap area.
hdb is not connected.

I couldn't find anything on http://www.caldera.com/

Go into linux and run cfdisk. Make sure you got the partition set for the
right type e.g. fat 16, dos 32 etc

1. LILO error: Can only boot from floppy, LILO will only start dos not linux

After installing LILO to the MBR it gives me the following error when
trying to boot linux:  error 0x09!  Dos anyone know what it is trying to
tell me?  My linux partitions are /dev/hdb2 and /dev/hdb3 (swap:
/dev/hdb1).  When I check out the partition tables in fdisk
/dev/hdb2 (root partition) does not have an asteric in the boot colum.  
Is that the problem and how do I fix it.
