This line causes to remove the W2k loader doesn't it?
If so how to recover it not to install W2k again?
First I had: boot = /dev/hda3
it worked for two days but when it finished to work I tried:
boot=/dev/hda3
It's a little bit better but still not enough well (see below).

I actually had almost the same entries. I tried yours (but I they are
almost the same I had) and the problems are not solved.
Problem1.
When I tried to run lilo I got the following message:
--
Warning: Int 0x13 function 8 and function 0x48 return different
head/sector geometries for BIOS drive 0x80
Added Linux
Added Win2000(hda1) *

Problem2.
When I reboot the system the coloured LILO menu appears,
but after the line (on the screen) boot:
sequence of zeros appears: 000000000....000...so on
but when I used Backspace to delete the appeared zeros they did not
appeared again and I could choose which OS to load and they
both seem to load properly but it is no proper behaviour of the LILO to
have the zeros after boot: and have to delete them to load OS.
Could someone please help me
