Subject: [9fans] booting plan 9 from LILO (was matrox ...)

I suspect the problem is that Plan 9 doesn't know how to boot
from anything but the primary master. More precisely, I don't
know how that would work and so I'm not surprised that it
doesn't.
It could be that we're not dealing with LILO properly
at all, although I think some people have gotten it working. I would
try it myself on my laptop but I'm afraid to wipe my MBR,
since I'm not 100% sure how to put the Windows 2000 one back.
Anyone want to share LILO success stories?
Russ
