Subject: [9fans] how to boot from hard disk?
Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2003 08:26:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3EFB47CA.893710B@null.net> (raw)
I've wasted a lot of time trying to get the following three OSes
to be simultaneously bootable from partitions on the primary
master IDE disk (using System Commander 8 as a boot manager):
Windows Me
Plan 9 r.4
Solaris 9
Currently I have Plan 9 and Solaris installed on partitions
on other disks (IDE and/or SCSI) and they don't boot successfully
even though they have, in the past, on other PCs using System
Commander. One possible factor is that I have 120GB and 95GB
IDE disks. I would appreciate help getting bootable versions
working. For example, can I boot via floppy then copy the
installed files to a partition on the primary master disk and
do something magic to install a working MBR?
I have figured out what "P.C." stands for!
