Re: [coLinux-devel] Imaging partitions?

[<co...@ew...>]

I'm booting my redhat 9 partition via colinux -- My config looks like so:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
  <colinux>
  <block_device index="0" path="\Device\HarddiskVolume3" enabled="true" /> 
  <bootparams>root=/dev/cobd0 noacpi noapic</bootparams> 
  <image path="2.4.25" /> 
  <memory size="64" /> 
  </colinux>

On my system, \Device\HarddiskVolume3 is equivalent to hda6 but this does 
change since windows doesn't name partitions in a fixed way like Linux 
does.  Does this help answer your question?
