Knoppix/Win2K Dual Boot using boot.ini
Hello all, I've recently downloaded and installed Knoppix 3.7 on one of my hard disks (using "knx2hd"), and I'm having a little problem. I've successfully set up my ext3 partition, and my linux-swap partition on a SATA drive that I've also got two other partitions on (an NTFS partition for storing downloads in win2000, and a FAT32 partition, so both Knoppix and Windows can read/write from/to it). I've also used knx2hd to copy the knoppix files over to the ext3 partition. However, the problem lies in the fact that I'm trying to use boot.ini to let me chose Knoppix at boot time. I've used the following command to dump the first 512 bytes of the ext3 partition to a binary file:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda4 of=/mnt/floppy/knoppix.bin /bs512 /count=1
I've also put a line in the end of the boot.ini file so that I can choose "Knoppix 3.7" at boot up:
Code:
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
c:\knoppix.bin="Knoppix 3.7"
However, when I rebooted, I chose the Knoppix OS, and the bootloader echoed "L" followed by lots of "01"'s, and the system hung. This leads me to believe that I'm not generating the knoppix.bin file properly. Can anyone help me, please?
