Why have two "DOS" bootable drives? In my experience, "DOS" only likes to see
one main bootable drive. Anyhow, back to LILO, Another gentleman on this list
had a similar LILO problem. He found out that the additional boot partition
was corrupted and as a consequence, LILO would not install properly. Any
chance that you might have a corrupted drive? Also, is the bootable flag set
for all participants in your LILO configuration file?
