Dual boot Caldera OpenLinux 2.4 & SCO Unixware

Comment:
I have a system w/Caldera OpenLinux 2.4 (eDesktop) and SCO UnixWare 7.1.1. The partition table looks like this: /dev/hda1 Linux /dev/hda2 Swap /dev/hda3 Dos /dev/hda4 SCO UnixWare Linux sees the SCO partiton as GNU Hurd or Sys V. I try editing /boot/grub/menu.lst by adding root = (hd0,3), which is grub's notation for /dev/hda4. The SCO partiton is set to active as is Linux. When Linux boots, I select SCO from the menu list and get an error: Cannot mount selected partition. In the menu.lst file I have /stnad/unix entered as the location of SCO's kernel. Any ideas?

This is in answer to my own question. You will need a small DOS partition. Install Boot Magic on DOS partiton. Boot Magic was able to detect and load DOS, SCO Unixware & Caldera OpenLinux.
