Hello!
I am using the grub 0.5.96 ext2fs disk image.
Curently i only have one primary partition on my harddisk. So i thought
it would be the right way to boot my DOS with this commands:
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
But this gave me the following error message:
Error 22: no such partition
Instead the partition is identified as (hd0,3). Linux
recognizes it as /dev/hda4 too. Is this right?
(booting with rootnoverify (hd0,3) works fine)
Maybe a geometry problem?
grub: CHS: 1024/255/63
linux: CHS: 1655/255/63
grub> geometry (hd0)
drive 0x80: CHS = 1024/255/63, The number of sectors = 26587575, LBA
Partition num 3, Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0x6
linux> fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1655 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda4 * 1 19 152586 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
Thanks for your help!
Jan.
