Hi all
Things are almost copacetic here.
I'm running Workstation 5.5.3 on Linux Mandriva 2007 x86-64
I have XP SP2 and DOS 6.22 (don't ask...I still need it for a couple of old apps) guests; both are on raw partitions on /dev/hda (since VMWare \*still* doesn't like to boot from raw SATA drives).
When I boot natively, I can get any of the four OS on the box (Mandriva and Ubuntu 6.06 on /dev/sda and either of the M$ OS on /dev/hda) to boot as they should.
From within VMware, I can boot Ubuntu or Windoze as a guest, but if I try to boot DOS, it boots Windoze.
Here's the relevant part of /boot/grub/menu.lst:
default 0
title Linux (Mandriva 2007 k8x2)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.17.14-6mdvmmcustomk8x2 root=/dev/sda5 noexec=off resume=/dev/sda7 vga=794
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.17.14-6mdvmmcustomk8x2.img
title Linux (Ubuntu 6.06 LTS)
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8 root=/dev/sda6 noexec=off resume=/dev/sda7 vga=794
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd.img-2.6.15-27-amd64-k8
title DOS
root (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
title Windoze
root (hd1,1)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,1)
chainloader +1
title Memory Test
kernel (hd0,0)/memtest86+.bin
Is there anything I need to tweak to get DOS to boot as a guest? It appears that the VMWare virtual BIOS is no longer bringing up GRUB like it used to (which is fine, as long as I can get all of the guests to boot).
Thanks
Bob
