Hello all,

I would like to boot VSTa from a hard disk partition (/dev/hda2 on
linux, ie 2nd partition is a DOS/FAT filesystem of about 150mb
containing /vsta) on my home PC. The main (everyday) OS is Linux
(binutils 8.1.0.15, ELF libc5.4.39, kernel 2.0.31, gcc-2.7.2.3) booted
with Lilo (Linux root is /dev/hda1 which contains the LILO loader)

I do succeed in booting the GRUB (grub.raw) from a floppy.

I would like to boot GRUB from LILO (and then boot VSTa). However, I
failed to install grub sucessfully on the harddisk (actually, I'm not
sure i fully understood all of GRUB features; I tried several GRUB
install= commands without success)

I added a other=/dos/vsta/grub/stage1 entry into /etc/lilo.conf. Since
I'm using the debug version of GRUB, I did found that GRUB stage1 run
ok and stage2 is loaded.

(machine is a Cyrix150 -soon will be a AmdK6200- on an Asus
motherboard with PCI)

Any clue?
