- Hi:
-
- I've just finished installing NT at home. Everything's
- working fine (once I finished the setup - if I didn't
- follow a precise sequence, it would hang during installation),
- but I am now running 3 OS's: DOS 5, Windows NT, and Coherent.
- As my wife uses Coherent for her unix programming classes, I'd
- like to add it to the boot selection in the NT boot.ini file
- instead of making her change the active partition back and
- forth.
-
- Coherent resides on the 2nd partition of the first IDE drive.
- Is there any way to specify loading the boot sector from
- an "unknown" partition in boot.ini?
-
- Thanks,
-
