Well after reading some of the LILO manual (which I should have done
 more of!) I realize what I have done.
 
 I first ran lilo with boot=/dev/hda.  Since I didn't want lilo installed
 at all on my P90 and I ran lilo as an accident I thought I may as well
 try to get it to boot my linux partition on /dev/hdb1.  So I edited 
 my /etc/lilo.conf file except this time I had boot=/dev/hda1.  I read
 that this is bad because /dev/hda1 is my DOS partition!  So I really 
 hosed things up and had lilo on both /dev/hda & /dev/hda1.
 
 Several nice people have e-mailed me and told me to do a fdisk /mbr
 to wipe out lilo on the mbr (/dev/hda) but what about lilo on /dev/hda1?
 
 Have I trashed my DOS partiton information?  What can I do now?

 I did run fdisk and the partition information looked correct.  It knew
 the partition was all dos and it was bootable/primary.

 Thanks again,
 
 Brian
