Dual Linux System HELP !

[MADHATter7]

Well, after a failed attempt at installing another distro to dev/hdb, I became PO'd and cleared both hard drives. Last night, I reinstalled RedHat 7 on dev/hda (primary master) and had it write (Grub, I think) to the MBR. Then, I took a complete turnaround and installed Slackware 7 (quite a difference) on dev/hdb. (primary slave)
Now, here is my question(s): Am I supposed to modify the lilo.conf file for RedHat to point to de/hdb2 (dev/hdb1 is the swap) so I can choose between RedHat or Slackware ?
As it stands now, the only way I can boot into Slack is to use a boot floppy....
By the way, is this the best hardware configuration ? I have a 3.5 GB HDD as dev/hda as the primary master. I have a 1.5 GB HDD as dev/hdb as primary slave & the CD-ROM as secondary master. Is this the best way ? (I installed 2nd HDD this weekend) I'll admit, it did seem to help the install time.
ANY SUGGESTIONS ???? http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

This is what I had to do to get a working multi linux system.

I've had problems using LiLowitth anything newer than RH5.2. SO I use Loadlin.

I have win98 on hda, it took up the whole harddrive.

hdb has a 16M /boot directory at the beginng of the drive and the rest is setup for RH6.2

hbc is used by 'drake 7.1 and hdd is my cdrom drive.

When I installed the different Linuxs, both used the /boot partition. As long as their kernels are named diffrently, They don't mind.

once they are installed, I copied they kernels to my windoze drive and the setup Loadlin. once again, as long as your kernel names are unique, things should go okay for you.

Hope this helps you out.

If you installed Grub, then lilo.conf isn't the right file for you to edit. I've never used Grub, so I'm not sure what the name of its configuration file is. Take a look at its man page and let us know what you find. It would be interesting to know how to set this up using Grub.

Hope this at least points you in the right direction.
