Redhat 7.1 LILO Multiboot Error

by megashub . Updated 24 years, 10 months ago

I’m trying to boot a Win98 drive, currently setup as the secondary slave drive (hdd) with 1 partition, from a Redhat Linux 7.1 harddrive (hda).

This 98 drive is completely bootable. If it were to become the only drive in the system, it would run flawlessly.

I’m trying to get LILO to boot this drive as an option. Copied below is my lilo.conf file:

boot=”/dev/hda”
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux
vga=”1″
image=”/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2″
label=”linux”
read-only
root=”/dev/hda5″
other=/dev/hdd1
label=”win98″

When I reboot, it comes back saying “Error 0x01 Unable to start win98”. When I run /sbin/lilo it returns “Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessable.” I’ve tried changing various BIOS settings for the drive with no luck. Can you assist?
