by I am encountering a problem with a system I rebuilt.
Thisis a system that was once two systems but one Mobo
fried. Since they use the same mobo ( one difference
the unfired one has built in SCSI ), I simply merged the
two systems.
The unfried system used NT/98 ( boot sectors/partions on /dev/hda ),
the fried system used NT/Linux ( NT boot sector on /dev/sda, first
partition of SCSI held the boot partition of linux, the linux boot
sector was the third ( counting the extended partition ) partition on
the SCSI drive. Both had System Commander on them. The second machine
used a IDE hard drive for most of the partitions of Linux. I moved
that drive to hdd. I adjusted ( changed hda to hdd ) the lilo.conf and
/etc/fstab entries to reflect this.
So when I boot from SCSI and choose Linux, the system boots fine.
But when I boot from hda and choose Linux, the system locks on LI
Since I would rather repartion sda1 to remove NT, I would like to
boot from hda. Any ideas how to fix this?
About the only hint I have is that there is this boot=0x80 in my
lilo.conf which I beileve was supposed to get it to treat sda as the
first boot device. But I don't think that that is the problem.
