dual boot

[Joseph McCarty]

Thanks, Mark, for verifying my fears.

I'd love to dump 'doze, except all my CIS curicculum stuff runs in it.
Cisco and Oracle haven't seen the light, yet.  Consequently, a certain part
of my body is getting sore from sitting on the fence.

The article I refered to is:
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/mini/Multiboot-with-GRUB-1.html.  Looks
like it would work, but bye-bye all my work on the former MacroHard drive

You remain my favorite Guru.

--Joe

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't windoze 2000 loader expect the OS to
reside on the primary drive?? GOD complex.... primary master or nothing at
all....  No tweaking on the BIOS would help you there.  You may be able to
use the map= function in /boot/grub/grub.conf to remap the drives to "fool"
doze into thinking it is the primary drive..  I have seen references to this
in the past.... no examples though.

Scratch 2000 off the SCSI drive and relegate it to the IDE drive.... better
yet, dump it. ; )
