installation problems

Hello there,

I hope, this is the right place to ask such questions.


Is it possible to boot FreeDOS from the second harddisk?

My system has several partitions and there are two FAT partitions.
The first FAT partition is on the first harddisk (hda3), in DOS it is
seen as drive C:. I want to keep that for booting Win95.
The second FAT partition is the first partition on the second drive.
The drive is on the primary IDE as slave (hdb1). This partition I want
to use to boot FreeDOS from.

I use LILO as bootmanager.

What I tried so far is

1. to boot from floppy and enter "sys a: d:" and put the following into
the lilo.conf:
other = /dev/hdb1
  label=FreeDOS

2. to swap the BIOS sorting of the drives in lilo.conf:
other = /dev/hdb1
  label=FreeDOS
  table=/dev/hdb
  map-drive=0x80 to=0x81
  map-drive=0x81 to=0x80

I tried it with "table" and without.

3. I also tried to put the system again on the drive, while the drives
are swapped

All without success so far. :-(
Can you help?
