Here is what I would do. Go to www.toms.net/rb and download a copy of
tomsrtbt using Windows. Write it to a floppy. Now you have a boot disk.
Change the jumpers on hda and hdb so that the old hdb (with Linux) is the
primary master and the old hda (Windows) is the primary slave. Now Linux
will be on hda1 and Win will be on hdb.
Boot tomsrtbt. At the lilo prompt, hit TAB. Copy the Image name along with
the root partition you want to use. Like this:
bz2bzImage root=/dev/hda1
Ignore the errors. You will now be running Debian with the tomsrtbt kernel.
Using vi, you can edit your /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf files and then run
lilo. Reboot and cross your fingers.
That worked beautfully. Many thanks!
