Newbie
HI,
I have just started a new job as a IT Assistant and the network used by the company is Unix and Novell based. I think it would be highly usefull if i could learn Unix. Also i have tried to install Linux RedHat 7.0 previously but it ran out of space on a 30Mb hard disk drive.
Could anyone make any recommendatins as to how i set up Unix as the second O.S. on a dual platform Win 98 machine? It has a second hard-disk which is still waiting for a unix installation (after 2 years).
Also could anyone recommend any general books or websites to get me started in the networking aspects of Unix. My previous unix experince amasses to very little at University.

installboot
installboot(1M) installboot(1M)
NAME
installboot - install bootblocks in a disk partition
SYNOPSIS
installboot bootblk raw-disk-device
The boot(1M) program, ufsboot, is loaded from disk by the bootblock program which resides in the boot area of a disk partition.
The ufs boot objects are platform-dependent, and reside in the /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory. The platform name can be
found using the -i option of uname(1).
The installboot utility is a SPARC only program. It is not supported on the architecture. users should use installgrub(1M) instead.
bootblk The name of the bootblock code.
raw-disk-device The name of the disk device onto which the bootblock code is to be installed; it must be a character device which is read-
able and writable. Naming conventions for a SCSI or IPI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive.
Example 1: Installing UFS Boot Block
To install a ufs boot block on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use:
example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
/usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs
directory where ufs boot objects reside.
/platform/platform-name/ufsboot
second level program to boot from a disk or CD
