I'd now like to boot Win95 or Linux but unfortunately I can't convince
lilo to let me.
Linux is in /dev/hda1, Win95 in /dev/hdc1
I've fiddled with table= etc. to no avail.
I would appreciate any help you could offer :)

edit: /etc/lilo.conf (or /boot/lilo.conf or etc/lilo/config)
boot = /dev/hda
compact
install = /boot/boot.b
map = /boot/map
# This is to boot linux from /dev/hda.
image = /boot/vmlinuz # Location of the kernel
label = Linux # Name for the LILO boot menu
root = /dev/hda1 # Location of root partition
vga = normal
# This is to boot Win95 from /dev/hdc.
other = /dev/hdc1 # Location of partition
table = /dev/hdc # Lacation of partition table
label = Win95 # Name for LILO boot menu
loader = /boot/any_d.b # To boot from second drive
then run: /sbin/lilo -v
now you're ready to reboot. (I figure you know about holding Shift or Ctrl
during boot and using tab to get the bootoptions).
Hope this helped :^)

1. lilo won't boot off /dev/sda but will off hda
I have a linux box (K6-2-350, 2940UW, PromisUltra33) 8 ide drives and a
scsi drive. It werks great booting off /dev/hda1 but no go off
/dev/sda1. I have scsi bios pointing to the right scsi ID for boot, bios
is configured to use scsi to boot. AHA bios says that my scsi drive is
"C: (80h)" which is good, i can format the scsi drive w/ MicroSloth and
it boots properly. When I install slakware 3.6 to the scsi drive, all
goes good, except that after i reboot BIOS says MIssing operating sys, i
boot off floppy and point it to "mount root=/dev/sda1" and it will boot
properly off scsi drive. I reinstall the lilo by hand, and it still does
the same thing (missing operating sys), i edit the lilo.conf and it has
"boot = /dev/hda" (the lilo.conf on /dev/sda) then the normal linux boot
section below that.That is the config that wont go. I edit it to say
"boot = /dev/sda" and then it will partly boot, coming up with only "LI"
and sitting there. Also note: MS fdisk only shows me 8 drives, it
truncates the onboard seccondary slave drive. I would guess this is MS
Ignorance but dunno, may be a software-interupt limitation (as in ASM
calls passing the hex drive that they wanna manupulate etc). Also, the
scsi bios loads before the PromisUltra33 bios, so the scsi drive comes
up as 84h (when i'm booting off IDE ofcorse) then the Promis33 loads its
stuff. Also, when booting of /dev/hda1 i can have access to all drives,
including scsi w/ zero problems).
What do u think?
Ideas?
