Solaris + WinXP Pro双启动的点滴心得( 三 )

云知道



Another new catch with Solaris 8 is that it requires two partitions on the hard drive. Remember that in this setup, partition 1 is Windows, and I specified that 4 be set up as an extended partition for Linux. There can only be four partitions, so this scheme leaves 2 and 3 for Solaris. Set it up for 2, and during the install it will add 3. Summarizing, partition 1 is Windows, 2 and 3 are Solaris, and partition 4 is extended and subdivided into logical partitions for Linux. All of these are below cylinder 1023 unless your Linux distribution can overcome this problem. Finally, remember the way that Solaris subdivides partition 2 internally. This means that some boot files need to be modified by the number of slices you set up during the Solaris installation. But, when you"re using fdisk, you see those Solaris slices as one partition. It"s a little confusing, but you can keep track of it by remembering the way the boot process works.

Alternatives

I"ve also done this basic procedure on a system with two hard drives, and it"s considerably simpler. I put Linux on the second hard drive by itself and tweaked the procedure. First, put Windows in partition 1 on the first drive and Solaris in partition 2, which will become 2 and 3. Then, put Linux on hdb. Since you"re not going to install Linux on hda, you don"t have to worry about the problematic partition table.

Conclusion

The procedure I"ve described will result in a machine that can boot into three different operating systems. This can save you considerable desk space in the Office or a lot of weight if you"re on the road. The procedure is fairly complicated but doesn"t cost anything. Be careful, because messing up a step can mean that you have to back up several steps or start from the beginning to recover. Always back up your data before trying anything like this.
