Message-ID: Date: 3 Dec 90 14:57:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Lines: 14 At the last company I worked at, the way we set up booting from a selected partition was to run a script under unix that got its redirected input from a file and use it to run UNIX fdisk. This script would set the active partition to DOS, and call a re-boot(by sending chars to the keyboard buffer, I think). We had a batch file under DOS that did pretty much the same thing. All we had to do to boot from the other OS was to run the script or batch file and we would be up and running. This is a LOT easier than trying to boot from a floppy and switch command paths. -Longshot( Erik J. Green) longshot@att1.mankato.msus.edu
