Very Computer

Oops! I have just added a 300 MB SCSI drive to accomodate my thirsty
Linux habit.  Previously I had a 540 mb SCSI drive with an 80 MB
partition for Linux, and the first partition holding my Win95.  I
installed Lilo to switch between the two, and they were happy ever
after.

But with this new kid on the block harmony has been lost.  I again
installed Lilo with an option for the Win95 on the other drive.  All
seemed to be fine until I tried to boot the Win95 -- it keeps looping
with errors.

Any suggestions?

I had a similar problem with DOS and OS/2 on SCSI disk A (primary) and
Linux on disk B. I ended up creating a small partition of disk A that
only holds the /boot directory. The rest of the data is on B. Here's a
copy of what my filesystem looks like. I hope it helps.

Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sdb2             300545  181476   103546     64%   /
/dev/sda4               7807     156     7248      2%   /boot
/dev/sdb4            1291396  403403   821264     33%   /local
/dev/sda1             616688  122832   493856     20%   /dos

Life is much simplier if you don't know what is going on.

line. And that isn't enough info (version of kernel, version of ext2
filesystem, which distribution, version of lilo, which operating
environments are on which partitions, does / end before 1024 cyls, is lilo
on the mbr, the partition boot sector, on a floppy (nice safe place for
it)? There was a detailed post here about 4 months ago on how to do just
this. There was something about installing Win95 first, which trashes lilo
on the mbr (so remove it first with fdisk /mbr from dos), then installing
linux and lilo after you get Win95 booting from its partition. If you boot
lilo from /dev/fd0, you don't have this problem.
