DISCLAIMER: Messing around with boot loader issues can make your harddisks unbootable. Please make backups before doing so. Please install a new boot loader only when you really now what you do. We reject any responsibility for damages that may occur on your system. GRUB - the GRand Unified Bootloader - needs to access some files in order to run. Its best you place them on a small - 50MB is enough even for further extensions - FAT 16/32 partition.

Add something like this to your /etc/lilo.conf file under linux and rerun /sbin/lilo. Note that Solaris *MUST* be the active partition, on either the primary or another another hard drive. To use LILO with Solaris on the primary partition, install LILO in the MBR and mark the solaris partition as active. In this example Solaris is on your second hard drive (hence the "loader" line): other = /dev/hdb1 loader = /boot/chain. See similar questions...

The general idea is that you copy the first sector of your native root FreeBSD partition into a file in the DOS/Windows NT partition. Assuming you name that file something like c:\bootsect.bsd (inspired by c:\bootsect.dos), you can then edit the c:\boot.ini file to come up with something like this: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows NT" C:\BOOTSECT.

EasyBCD can hook into an existing GRUB installation without any user intervention - just point it and it'll do the rest. If you're GRUB isn't already properly configured though, take a look at this sample configuration file for just about everything you could need. Nope. EasyBCD is a very special and unique application in that it doesn't even touch your bootsector or MBR, yet it's still the most powerful bootloader on the planet! Vista installs the "BCD Bootloader" to your MBR and Bootsector. See similar questions...

The general idea is that you copy the first sector of your native root Solaris/x86 partition into a file in the DOS/NT partition. Assuming you name that file something like c:\bootsect.sun (inspired by c:\bootsect.dos) you can then edit the c:\boot.ini file (copy boot.ini to boot. See similar questions...

According to the grub disk numbering, /dev/hda is hd0, hdb is hd1, etc. The partitions are numbered from zero. Therefore, hda1 is hd0,0, hdc4 is hd2,3. See similar questions...

This is a known problem. Windows refuses to boot when it isn't installed on the first hard drive and shows a black/blank screen. To handle this, you will have to "fool" Windows into believing that it is installed on the first hard drive with a little tweak in your boot loader configuration. Please note that in the below example, Gentoo is installed on hda (first disk) and Windows on hdb (second one). Adjust your config as needed. See similar questions...

Which operating system you decide to use should depend on what features you need. For example, if you are already using IIS, ASP, VBScript, Windows Media, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, or Visual InterDev, and you don't have the time to learn Unix-based solutions, you'll have to choose a Windows NT or Windows 2000-based host. Just because your desktop is Windows-based doesn't mean you should use a Windows host. See similar questions...

You can configure your computer to start Windows 2000, Windows NT, and either Windows 95 or Windows 98. However, you cannot configure a computer to multiple boot Windows 95 and Windows 98. Both Windows 95 and Windows 98 use the same boot file. Therefore, multiple booting Windows 95 and Windows 98 at the same time is not supported. Your installations are less prone to problems if you install Windows 95 or Windows 98 before you install Windows NT and Windows 2000. See similar questions...

Any washing detergent recommended by Fuzzi Bunz should be adequate; however using 1/6 of the recommended amount is required for a front loader. If there are too many suds, reduce your amount of liquid, if the diapers are not getting clean enough, increase your liquid. See similar questions...

For more of an explanation, Windows isn't Unix-like in the least. If you want, and or need, a UNIX operating system then one of the BSDs is a good choice. for Linux, simple answer, it's about choice. The BSD system development philosophy is different then the Linux development philosophy, and some people prefer the BSD philosophy to the Linux philosophy. On top of that, BSD doesn't mimic UNIX, it's a real derivate of UNIX. See similar questions...

There are actually many reasons to this question. 1. Linux tends to be much more stable when working in a server environment. 2. Linux tends to be much more secure. This is because they make it very easy to update the system software to the latest versions. Also, many of the "hackers" tend to exploit windows because of it's many "backdoors" that allow them to get access to system files very easily. 3. See similar questions...

Booting into Linux is easy, all you need is a recent copy of Penguin (the booter) and a kernel. (Both of which can be found on this site under "Downloads".) Before you can boot into Linux, you will need to turn off Virtual Memory and you may need Mode32 (see the section on Mode32, later). Start up Penguin, select the kernel that you want to boot from in the configuration screen, and then use the boot option from the file menu. If it works, you'll get a message about rarp requests.

If you need an OS to host a web site, or you just want to write some 'C' programs, you probably can't go wrong using Linux. That's just not where QNX fits in the marketplace. If you have a serious commercial product that needs to take maximum advantage of the performance available on your hardware, then Linux is probably not a very good choice. If the cost differential does not seem rational to you, $0 vs. See similar questions...

It may, but do not have to. You may put your kernel image at a fixed MTD partition at the beginning of the flash chip and feed the rest of the flash to UBI. The point is that you do not have to give UBI whole flash chip, you just give it some MTD partition. See similar questions...
