Description of Problem: If windows 95 is located on /dev/hdb1 when Redhat 7.2 is installed, the entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf to boot that os is incorrect. Win95 does not boot when the dos entry in grub is chosen at boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Win95 on /dev/hdb1 2. Install Redhat 7.2 on /dev/hda (or wherever, I guess.) 3. Reboot, and select the "dos" entry in the grub menu. Windows won't boot. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information: As much as I hate to fix things to make Windows work, :) here's the way I updated my grub.conf. The dos entry is now: title DOS map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot I think this is the correct fix.
Yes, anaconda doesn't currently handle the writing out of any additional drive mapping information at present. It is being considered for the next release as a part of a rework of all of the bootloader configuration present in anaconda
