Re: [coLinux-devel] Dual boot vs. coLinux setup

[<ch...@to...>]

This is exactly what my topologilinux howto acomplishes on the coLinux
wiki page but that is for a slackware based distro on a loopback
filesystem. I use the fact that /initrd the mount point for the initrd in
a native boot is not used by coLinux mode.

hprofile can change configuation files for different boot methods but this
can only be done after / is rw

If you are not using an initrd for native boot you could create a do
nothing initrd for native boot mode that just has a linuxrc that does the
pivot root see the initrd.txt file in kernel source documentation.
