RE: [coLinux-users] help setting up a dual boot system

[Leeuw v. d. T. <tim...@nl...>]

If you're using 0.6.1, then your boot-device would be /dev/cobd, no =
matter what distribution.
Is your distro using devfs?

I don't know what else should be done to an existing linux installation =
to convert it to a coLinux install, what instructions are there on the =
wiki for converting a linux install to coLinux?
