Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2002 14:04:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <55ac8209e87834eef705b065ab4cc697@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)
The /n/a:/bootsect.p9 trick doesn't work if the boot file system
isn't FAT. Even if Plan 9 read NTFS, the NT boot loader won't use it.
Try Smart BootManager (http://btmgr.sf.net), mentioned on the
list a few weeks ago.
hget http://pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~rsc/mbr.bootmgr >/386/mbr.bootmgr
disk/mbr -m /386/mbr.bootmgr /dev/sdC0/data
The interface has some flaws, but on the whole it's reasonable,
and it doesn't require any particular OS to configure. I've been
using it to dual-boot Windows XP and Plan 9 without problems.
