Never done this, but take a peek at the Linux+WinNT-HOWTO (you'll need to install the HOWTOs first, of course.
hello > i have a win2000/knoppix multiboot problem
=----------- .:SYSTEM:. -----------=
AMD Athlon 1700XP processor
256 MB RAM mem
Jetway 866AS ULTRA RAID mobo
Geforce4 MX440 video
2 x 20 GB harddisk
Lite-ON 40x12x48 CDROM
=------------------------------------=
- configuration -
primairy master > 20 GB (NTFS for Windows 2000)
primairy slave > NONE
secundairy master > Lite-ON CDROM
secundairy slave > 20 GB (5GB ext3 / 512 MB swap / 14,5 GB NTFS)
- steps i took -
1. i installed knoppix to the described partitions and i wrote lilo in MBR.
2. after reboot it just booted Win2000 > no lilo shown.
3. used A: to boot in knoppix
4. edited /etc/lilo.conf
5. wrote lilo in MBR
6. still nothing
7. tried to setup the win2000 bootmenu to boot knoppix (followed a tutorial for this)
8. nope...
9. searched google for bootloaders
10. tried a bunch of em
11. still no penguin
- conclusion -
So i think knoppix can't boot from secundairy slave drive > am i correct ??, can anyone confirm this ??
- extra -
1. I HAVE INSTALLED KNOPPIX 25 TIMES IN 2 DAYS (new personal record )
2. i have had the 10101010101010101010 error lots of times.
3. at one point using bootit (bootloader) i booted knoppix from cd and it put hda,hdd5,hdd6 to desktop what's normal but it also made hdd10,hdd11,hdd12,hdd13,hdd14,hdd15,hdd16,hdd17 and hdd18 > WTF ?? ROFL [ took a lot of rebooting to correct that error ]

ok...
What does your lilo.conf file look like?
It seems like there isn't an entry in it for the linux side of things. Lilo should have no problem finding a partition on a secondary.
the file is /etc/lilo.conf
and remember run lilo after making and saving any changes to the file.
post the lilo file and I'll et you know the entry you need.
What went wrong? You didn't write LILO to the MBR. Instead you wrote it to the partition you installed Knoppix on. You can fix it. Edit /etc/lilo.conf so that it says:
boot=/dev/hda
Also specify which partition you installed Knnoppix to. For example:
root=/dev/hdb2
As was mentioned by padlamoij don't forget to do: /sbin/lilo. If it returns no errors you are set.
thnx for the hints guys, but i've got it running already
I resized primairy master 20gb NTFS to 15gb and made a 512mb hda2(swap) and a 4,5gb hda3(ext3).
No problems at all LOL
* not quite what i had in mind but i'll take it
--If you still have an installation on hdb, follow what Rickenbacherus recomended in the post above. I had a lilo installation that booted from hda and passed control to a 2nd lilo on hdb. (You need two different lilo.conf files for this, but read the lilo documentation and don't be afraid to experiment.)
