Re: [coLinux-devel] Utilising pre-installed Linux...

[Richard G. <ric...@ri...>]

\\Device\harddisk2\Volume2 is Window's internal object name for that
partition. If it is set at Index 0 in the XML file, then it becomes
presented by the Linux kernel as cobd0 once inside the partition. Thus some
manual hacking may be required (fstab, etc) I believe to make your existing
Linux partition boot properly.  (cobd0 = coLinux block device 0 IIRC)

By the way, my in-laws are named Benoit :-)
