I am trying to add a second drive to boot Win95 for my 3.5 yr-old
daughter's Win95 games. I have Linux booting fine on my primary master,
hda. I can unplug the Linux drive from the primary master and plug in
the Win95 as the primary master and boot into Win95 as well. I cannot
connect both at once (Linux as hda and the Win95 drive as hdb) and set
up LILO to dual boot.

Both drives are properly configured, the Linux drive as hda, and the
Win95 drive as hdb. I added the following to my lilo.conf file:

. . .
other = /dev/hdb [I also tried "other = /dev/hdb1"]
label = dos
table = /dev/hdb

When the "LILO:" prompt appears and I type "dos", lilo returns with
"loading dos" and hangs.

Whats up? Any ideas?

I think Windows needs to be on the first drive. Can you reverse them,
i.e., make the Windows drive hda and the Linux drive hdb? There'll
be some configuration files to modify.
