You could have just copied the KNOPPIX and boot directories from the cd onto hdb1 from within Suse and use Suse's bootloader to start DSL. Swapping the partitions around will probably mean trouble for existing systems.

Kernel in DSL frugal on hdb1 would be (hd1,0)/boot/isolinux/linux24
initrd: (hd1,0)/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz

Sorry it wrapped.

On Feb 13, werner posted in DSL tips and tricks as to how to install to hdb

I tried it, and it works. I changed back to hda, I forgot why.

Not sure, but I thinkl DSL still needs a "primary" partition for the /KNOPPIX and /boot etc; that is, mine is on hda3, although I think I had it on hdb2 briefly.

here's part of my menu.lst ; it's in /cdrom/boot/grub/ (/dev/hda3 gets mounted to /cdrom )

-----------

default 0
timeout 5

title Windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
boot

title DSL
root (hd0,2)

kernel /boot/linux24 fromhd=/dev/hda3 root=/dev/hda3 quiet dma base opt=hdb2 home=hdb2 restore=hdb2 nopcmcia frugal write

initrd /boot/minirt24.gz

Yeah, I tried that, but then, for some reason, SuSE disappears from the GrUB menu. And, oddly enough, GrUB boots into a weird textmode mode of GrUB, not the graphical mode...hmmm. I've had to (several times) fix grub with the suse installation disk....ugh.
Furthermore, It's difficult to mount hdb1 through SuSE. I get this odd message saying that hda3 is already mounted. SuSE won't let me umount hda3, cause that's where SuSE resides. I have to umount hda1, then mount hdb1.
