Multiboot with MSDOS

Show all headers | View raw

Way back I set up a machine with three OS, MSDOS was the lowest sector.

Don't remember everything I did, but here is my grub.cfg

# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
default		1
timeout		177
color cyan/blue white/blue
#Quantian bootable partition config begins
   title Quantian on (/dev/sda6)
   root	(hd0,5)
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda6 ro ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off nomce quiet vga=791 
   initrd /boot/initrd.img
   savedefault
   boot
# QUANTIAN bootable partition config ends
# XP bootable partition config begins
  title XP on (/dev/sda1)
  unhide (hd0,0) 
  hide (hd0,1) 
  root (hd0,0)
  makeactive
  chainloader +1
# Win XP bootable partition config ends
# DOS is in front of XP but was installed later so has a higher SDA number
# DOS bootable partition config begins
  title DOS on (/dev/sda2)
  hide (hd0,0) 
  unhide (hd0,1) 
  root (hd0,1)
  makeactive
  chainloader +1
# DOS bootable partition config ends
