Hello list
I have just installed solaris 10 on my computer to try it, but my LILO (LInux
LOader) got overwritten by GRUB and now only boots Solaris...
My system configuration is
IDE primary master: solaris 10 (windows XP before)
IDE primary slave: cdrw
IDE secondary master: linux slackware 10.2
IDE secondary slave: dvdrw
and used LILO to boot linux/windows...
Now, my questions are:
1. is it possible to start solaris using lilo? maybe appending and entry like
this
other = /dev/hda1
label = Solaris
table = /dev/hda
2. if not possible, how can I add my linux to the GRUB installed by solaris?
my current lilo has these entries
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.11
root = /dev/hdc2
label = DDM
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins (the default kernel)
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hdc2
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
----------------------------------
I was installing solaris from DVD, but at the end of installation had troubles
after reboot, when asked for the media to install documentation, java.. etc I
selected CD/DVD, but instead of continue reading from the DVDRW ejected the
CDRW and could not do anything else except SKYPE installing them, had no
chance to choose the CD/DVD device to specify the DVD and were not installed.
Here I have 2 doubts:
- how can install now those packages?
- how can I avoid after installation reboot to look for the CD instead the DVD
drive? I could disconnect the CDRW and reinstall but don't like this
"solution"...
Thanks!!!
