Hi!
Can extlinux boot Linux kernel from the second drive? I want to leave
Windows XP on the first IDE drive and put Linux to the first partition
(ext2/ext3) on the second IDE drive. I am allowed to change MBR on the
first drive. Will the following configuration work?
/dev/hda1 - Windows
/dev/hdb1 - Linux root (/, /boot, ...)
/dev/hda - extlinux in MBR
/boot/vmlinuz
extlinux /boot
/boot/extlinux.conf:
LABEL win
KERNEL chain.c32
APPEND hd0 1
LABEL lin
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND hd1 1
Thank you,
Alex.
