Hi Thomas,
I do it like this:
/dev/hda1 - win95 (for games, also contains NT boot loader)
/dev/hda3 - linux (set to active, lilo is installed here - not the mbr)
/dev/hsa1 - NT 4.0
The BIOS automatically boots off /dev/hda3, since it is active, and thus
into lilo. From the lilo prompt I type 'win' if I want to start NT loader.
This is set up in lilo.conf as type 'other' and just points to /dev/hda.
This fires up the NT bootloader which presents me with the menu from
boot.ini on /dev/hda1 (or C: from windows point of view), I then pick
which windows I want and way it goes.
Note: lilo is not installed on the mbr. I don't think this works if it is.
Mail me back if you need to see my lilo.conf and boot.ini and I will mail
them to you.
Cheers,
Shawn
