This is going to sound a really stupid question, but how do I install more
than one instance of RHEL on a single hard drive and then switch between
them in Grub?
I've tried simply installing a second copy in some free space but it fails
to see my first installation and if I add it to Grub manually it fails to
boot from it.......This is somehting I haven't done for a long, long time
and I'm confused.......
I still use lilo so cant help w grub details, but idea will be same
here is part of my fstab and lilo.conf
for two installations of rh8
[byers@linux byers]$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda3 /boot2 ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/sda7 /export ext3 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda6 /root2 ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
[root@linux root]# cat /etc/lilo.conf
prompt
timeout=50
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
