Hello; this is the way I boot XP/FC2/FC4T2. They are all on seperate drives. My system: hda - WinBlow$ XP hdb - FC2 hdc - DVD burner hdd - FC4T2 Install XP first to hda Install FC2 to hdb, make sure to create a /boot partition. Remove the labels from the drives and change /etc/fstab to reflect this. (e2label /dev/hdx "" ) Of course XP/swap/extended have no labels. Then added a small drive for FC4T2, installed to it using its mbr, ignoring all other drives from disk druid. Again it has a /boot partition, and again remove the drive labels Now when I boot I get this grub: Mount your old (FC2) and copy/paste grub.conf #Fedora Core 4 test 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #/boot/grub/grub.conf: snip ... title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1276_FC4) root (hd2,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1276_FC4 ro root=/dev/hdd3 rhgb initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1276_FC4.img # the below was copy/pasted title WinBlow$ XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title FC2 (2.6.12-rc2) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-rc2 ro root=/dev/hdb7 rhgb initrd /initrd-2.6.12-rc2.img ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #/boot/grub/device.map # this device map was generated by anaconda #and then edited by me (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/hdb (hd2) /dev/hdd ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 163.9 GB, 163928604672 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19929 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 5979 48026286 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 5980 19929 112053375 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 5980 12954 56026656 b W95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 12955 19929 56026656 7 HPFS/NTFS Disk /dev/hdb: 163.9 GB, 163928604672 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19929 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 32 257008+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 33 12780 102398310 83 Linux /dev/hdb3 12781 14055 10241437+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb4 14056 19929 47182905 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hdb5 14056 15099 8385898+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb6 15100 15736 5116671 83 Linux /dev/hdb7 15737 16258 4192933+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb8 16259 16519 2096451 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hdb9 16520 16774 2048256 83 Linux /dev/hdb10 16775 19929 25342506 83 Linux Disk /dev/hdd: 30.7 GB, 30758289408 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3739 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes #/etc/fstab for FC4T2 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdd1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdd2 14 136 987997+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hdd3 137 2569 19543072+ 83 Linux /dev/hdd4 2570 3739 9398025 83 Linux # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/hdd3 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdd1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd4 /mnt/UPDATES ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb8 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdb10 /mnt/music ext3 defaults 0 0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Core 2: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /boot/grub/device.map # this device map was generated by anaconda (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/hdb ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #/etc/fstab for FC2: /dev/hdb7 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb5 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb2 /mnt/downloads ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb10 /mnt/media ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda1 /mnt/vfat-w98 vfat defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/vfat-xp vfat defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb3 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb6 /usr/local ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb9 /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb8 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/hda6 /mnt/NTFS ntfs noauto,owner,users,umask=000 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/firewire ext3 noauto,owner,users 0 0 none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults,devmode=0666 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 -------------------------------------------------------------- This will probably line-wrap.
