I am trying to understand the fine points of installing Grub on a system
with XP.
I did it successfully with lilo, but don't understand what I did.
I have gathered that XP has problems with a norml "Free" boot manager in the
boot sector. I did my current install using instructions that came with
SystemRescueCd, which uses Lilo. The lilo.conf example is attached below.
So, the questions are:
Q1: Is there a kind of boot-manager setup that is right or wrong with XP?
Q1: How is the one below different from an ordinary Lilo setup?
Q2: How can I do the equivalent using Grub?
Thanks,
Vic
Sample lilo config:
lba32
boot = /dev/hda
map = /boot/.map <<== 140 kb, looks sort of like executable code
prompt
install = /boot/boot-menu.b <<== This is an empty file
delay = 50
vga = normal
default=win
image = /boot/vmlinuz1
root = /dev/hda2
label = sysrcd
read-only
other = /dev/hda1
label = win
table = /dev/hda
