What do you have in your /etc/lilo.conf? I think the answers you chose will
write only a stanza for Linux. You'll need to edit by hand and add a stanza
similar to the following:
other = /dev/hda1
table = /dev/hda
label = win98 <----or whatever you'd like to have the label
You'll probably want the following lines in the global section
prompt
delay = 100 <-------=10 sec
timeout = 100
You also can add a line
default = linux
otherwise the system boots the first stanza in the absence of an entry at the
prompt line. After editing the file, run /sbin/lilo and **watch** the output.
You should see it add each label with a * next to the default. Only if you get
that should you reboot. Anything else, edit the file carefully until it
contains no errors.
