Re: [PLUG] Dual booting problem (RH 7.2/grub)
|
Are you using 'chainloader +1' in your menu.lst?
I'm not certain, and don't have access to grub docs at the moment, but it
doesn't seem as if grub wouldn't care about whether a particular partition
has the boot flag set - it'll try to pass control regardless.
