Does anyone know how to overcome the 1024 virtual cylinder limit for booting
OSR 5.xx when running Windows and Unix on the same box?
The only way I know to install OSR5 for dual boot is to reorganise the
Windows partitions so that there is sufficient room in the first 1024
cylinders for an OSR5 boot partition.
I suppose a workaround is to use something like Vmware.
I have OSR5 running on VMware Workstation under Windows (Vista, no
less) on my notebook and it works perfectly. Much better than the
dual-boot setup I used to use, plus you can run older OSR5 versions
without worrying about processors, cyylinders, etc.
