Re: Using LILO to boot Linux/Win98
I understand the lilo.conf file you suggested. Only problem is that when I edit
the file with Linux on HDA, I have to uncomment the Win98 part, otherwise
I get errors running "lilo". BTW, I have lba32.
On booting up with Win98 on HDA and Linux on HDB it goes to Win98 without any
choice. If I disconnect HDA, LILO tries to start booting Linux but doesn't go
anywhere (due to boot=/dev/hda ??).
Looks like catch-22 trying to switch around...How do I get around it?
Thanks to all for helping out.
