- The best solution would be to use LILO as the Master Boot Record (MBR)
- - if it's able to boot all the OS's on your system (it works for with
- Linux and DR DOS 6.0). You can then have the Linux partitions on the
- second hard drive and boot from an image there (I do!). You also get
- a much nicer interface than shoelace, IMHO.
-
- LILO is available on tsx-11.mit.edu in ~ftp/pub/linux/ALPHA/lilo.
