You can still use lilo to boot a slave drive. Just have lilo installed on
the MBR for each drive. The boot options on the first drive would be hda1
for Windows and hdb for Linux. Then install LILO on the MBR of hdb and
have it load Linux from hdb1 (or 5, as I believe the original poster was
using). I've had LILO setup this way for quite some time. I'd post the
lilo.confs, but I don't have access to my machine right now. There are 2
configuration files needed: one for hda's MBR and one for hdb's MBR.
