- At the moment, I have 3 primary DOS partitions (part 1..3, type 6,
- >32MB) and one LINUX efs partition (part 4) on my harddisk.
- Partition number order and order on disk (cylinders) are same, so DOS1
- (part 1) starts at cyl. 1 and LINUX (part 4) goes to end of disk (cyl 622).
-
- Booting linux and the first DOS partition works with both lilo-0.6 and 0.7.
-
- Booting the 2nd and 3rd DOS partition via activating in the partiton
- table works also.
-
- Trying to boot part. 2 or 3 using LILO (0.6 and 0.7) won't work.
-
- Why? Any hint?

- Congratulations! If AT&T wins its suit against BSDI, you've guaranteed that
- you can never write OS software again, just by reading the previous line!
