I had been using my machine dualbooting with Lilo for NT and Linux. Worked like a charme. Lilo resided in the mbr and it worked. But now the NT uses SAFEGUARD and that thing sits in the mbr for the pre-boot-password-authentication. So for all of you who do not know SG yet: It starts booting ONLY if you entered the correct pw. I have not done this before and ask for your advice: *** AGAIN, STOP WASTING MY AND YOU TIME WITH IDEAS TO MODIFY THE NT LOADER! I SAID A MILLION TIMES WHY I CANNOT CHANGE THAT !!! **** Thanks. How can I continue using LILO for NT/Linux dualboot *when I need to make NT believe the orignal ("safeguarded")=20 NT-Bootsector i the mbr, but want to use lilo in the mbr ACTUALLY =20 What to do? I put it like this: I NEED lilo in the mbr, but can only boot=20 with SAFEGUARD. So how can I tell lilo to run the SAFEGUARD sector, which I have here in a file (512 bytes) ? > The other way round to get this clear: The Multiboot HOWTOs that I > found as well as googling with > http://www.google.de/search?q=3Dlilo+mbr+NT&btnG=3DGoogle-Suche&hl=3D= de&ie=3DISO-8859-1 >=20 > all brought only solutions like "Configure NT-Loader to boot your > Linux system" - which NOT what I want nor can! THIS is it!=20 So how can I install Lilo in the mbr and tell Lilo to boot NT, but emulate that BOOT using the SAFEGUARD-MBR =20 The lilo.conf section about chain loading is not clear to me. Can anybody help? I re-read the man lilo all the time, but cannot get on how to chain-boot a single sector (the SAFEG one) which then starts to actually boot the NT. Hope you now understand me. I have not had enough sleep because of this problem :-) Cheers mates! --=20 *=BA=A4.,___,.=A4=BA*=A8=A8=A8*=A4 =3DOliver@home=3D = *=BA=A4.,=B8=B8=B8,.=A4=BA*=A8=A8*=A4 I / __|__ http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/Olli/olli.html I I / / |_/ http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/friends.html I I \ \__|_\ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VGAP-93 I I \___| mailto:VGAP-93-subscribe@yahoogroups.com I >>> Telek0ma iBBMS - moving house, but online! +49....TRSi1 <<< - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie"= in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
