Install onto 2nd hard drive / LILO

I installed the released QRTP from CD onto a partition on the second
hard drive. The installation procedure went smoothly. I then booted
to Linux on the 1st hard drive, and modified the LILO configuration to
boot the QRTP partition. LILO accepted this.

Now I boot. I choose QRTP from the LILO menu, and QRTP begins to
boot. It gives me the little (G8) or whatever line that it always
prints, and then procedes to boot QNX4 from a completely different
partition on the first hard drive.

I suspected my LILO settings (and frankly still do), but the strange
thing is that QRTP starts booting and then switches over to QNX4 after
the initial boot message. I changed the default hard disk in the BIOS
of the computer so that it boots the second hard drive by default, and
I can boot into QRTP without problems, so I know that the installation
is correct.

So my question - can we boot QRTP on a second hard drive, given a boot
loader (LILO) that is capable of booting an alternate hard drive? Has
anybody made a similar situation work?

Thanks,
Andrew

I have the same problem except 1st hard drive is SCSI with BeOS boot manager
and second EIDE.
I changed the primary hard disk in BIOS and booting QRTP without problems.

My box:
ASUS P2B-DS (AIC-7890)
IBM 18G SCSI
IBM 8.4G EIDE
RIVA 128
Realtek 8029.

Thanks,
Dmitry

Yup, I now have qnx bootable from LILO…

edit your /etc/lilo.conf file to have:

Find out what drive your QNX OS is on (use fdisk to see the partition number), we’ll call it hda4

other=/dev/hda4
table=/dev/hda
label=qnx
map-drive=0x80
to=0x81
map-drive=0x81
to=0x80

Then call /sbin/lilo and that should work, does for me.
