Hi
I used to have a raid-1 system with identical disks.
Now, they can't replace my failed 30GB disk and give me
a 45GB instead.
Is it possible, to have the following setup and boot
the evil OS from the remaining 15GB Partition?
DISK 1 DISK 2
I------------I I------------I
I raiddev 0 I I raiddev 0 I
I------------I I------------I
I raiddev 1 I I raiddev 1 I
I------------I I------------I
I raiddev 2 I I raiddev 2 I
I------------I I------------I
I partition I
I with I
I evil OS I
I------------I
I think it should be possible by installing mbr_bootsel on
both MBRs.
When booting normaly (no interaction) NetBSD would be loaded
from Disk1/Raid
When pressing F5 (2nd Disk), then F2 (2nd Partition), would
it boot Windows?
Thanks
Christoph
P.S: Its sad, but I *need* Windows, because Photoshop is the
only graphics program which supports 16bit Colors/Channel
