I have the following setup: I have installed Linux on one HD (two partitions with Linux on 2nd part.), Win98 on a second HD (one partition). I can boot up on both OS with one of the HD connected as active. Next I set up the Linux HD as A (active) and Win98 HD as B (standby). My /etc/lilo.conf file looks like this: boot=/dev/hda delay=10 #Linux stanza image=/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 label=Linux #Win98 stanza other=/dev/hdb1 tabel=/dev/hdb^^^^^ It should read "table". Did you get an error message when executing lilo?
Doesn't one have to map hdb to hda and vice versa to convince that other fickle OS to boot? That's what I had to do using grub, anyway.
Stolen from a RedHat support page:
http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/faqs/rhl_general_faq/s1-bootloader.html
other=/dev/hdb1
label=dos
table=/dev/hdb
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
Modifiy to suit, but you get the idea...
