BeOS Pro5 Triple Boot
Name: biggy Date: October 16, 2002 at 13:38:37 Pacific OS: BeOS Pro5.03 CPU/Ram: Celeron 1.4/256Meg
Comment:
I am trying for a triple boot using BeOS Pro 5.03 on a Celeron 1.4 with 256 Meg Ram, two hard drives, three operating systems, using BeOS Bootman. BeOS and Wind98SE are on drive 1, and winxp is on drive 0. BeOS saw all three operating systems and both drives and installed Bootman on the drive 0. When I select WindowsXP, it works. When I select BeOS, it works. But when I select Win98SE it does not load. However I can change drives in the Bios and Win98SE loads fine. Anyone have any ideas? I suspect Bootman is looking for an Autoexec.bat file in Win98SE and I am not using one. Thanks for any ideas.

If I'm not mistaken, windows 95/98&Me all have to be on the first partition of the first drive. Or to put it another way they all have to be on first partition of the master drive on the first controller. What you are trying isn't that hard it just takes a little tinkering. Good Luck Rob

I think XP is not respecting your 98...You can make it work with the right bootloader (I was using fdisk to switch the active drive until I got it)http://download.com.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=osl2000&tg=dl-2001&search=+Go%21+ Good Luck
