# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You now do have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to it, eg.
#          root (hd1,5)
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=100
splashimage=(hd1,5)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title theWin98se
	rootnoverify (hd0,0)
	chainloader +1
#
#
# this should, but don't work
# title DrDos
# 	map (hd0) (hd1)
# 	map (hd1) (hd0)
# 	rootnoverify (hd1,0)
# 	makeactive
# 	chainloader +1
####
# thus a lilo -b /dev/hdc (where hdc=(hd1)) was done with a lilo.conf
# containing:
# other=/dev/hdc1
#         label="DrDos"
#         table=/dev/hdc
#         map-drive=0x80
#            to=0x81
#         map-drive=0x81
#            to=0x80
#
#so the following boots lilo which can boot DrDos
