I'm trying dual boot with Redhat 8.0 and Windows 98. The windows 98 is from a previous install on this machine (no hardware changes). It's first on the 2nd ide channel and set to slave. BTW i'm using grub.
Below are the files I'm thinking of adding this to:
title=Windows 98
root (hdc1,0)
chainloader +1
/etc/grub.conf
/boot/grub/grub.conf
Is this correct? Is there any warnings anyone can give me?
And thanks.

Add these map commands to your Grub config.
title=Windows 98
root (hdc1,0)
map (hd0, hd1)
map (hd1, hd0)
chainloader +1

You were both kinda right:
title Windows 98
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
I tried hd2-3-4 without any luck (newer motherboards).
Thanks for giving an old lady her Kyodai Mahjongg back...

hd1, eh?
Yes, it should be hd1 if there are only two hard drives installed. My bad for not asking about that; it was about 3:30 AM when I posted, so the brain was moving a little slow.

Ok then David... More coffee for me and less beer for you. :p
It was wine (Cabernet to be exact).
