CentOS - dual boot from new partition
- by Dima
I need to install two copies of the CentOS 5.5 (bank A and bank B) on different partitions of the same hard disk and install grub boot loader to another partition (visible from both banks). The boot loader should redirect the boot menu to bank A or bank B (according to the configuration).
The new partition is mounted to /common_partition and grub is installed on it using following command:
grub-install /dev/hda
In the new partition I'm created the following menu.lst file:
title BOOTCONTROL REDIRECT : PLEASE WAIT
root (hd0,1)
configfile /boot/menu.lst
boot
On my setup: both partitions (bank A and bank B) are primary and grub is installed on MBR.
The problem is:
but the new boot loader (on common_partition) did not load.
What wrong on my configuration?
