You'll need to edit by hand and add a stanza similar to the following:
other = /dev/hda1 table = /dev/hda label = win98 <----or whatever you'd like to have the label You'll probably want the following lines in the global section prompt delay = 100 <-------=10 sec timeout = 100 You also can add a line default = linux otherwise the system boots the first stanza in the absence of an entry at the prompt line. After editing the file, run /sbin/lilo and **watch** the output. You should see it add each label with a * next to the default. Only if you get that should you reboot. Anything else, edit the file carefully until it contains no errors. Bill
