Which FM did you find this is? I've been unable to boot windows from lilo
since I moved it (windows) to /dev/hdc. I'd guess I need to use 0x82 where
you've used 0x81, but I'd rather make sure before I risk it, and I can't
see map-drive mentioned in the lilo.conf man page.
For a while I was able to boot windows using other=/dev/hdc but this
suddenly stopped working, saying "Missing Operating System" Does anyone
know what could cause that?
TIA,
Matt
