The problem is not with LILO but with Win95. Exactly what the trouble is I'm not sure, but if I allow Win95 to try to boot itself it will lock up, if I remember right with a message saying it can't locate somehting and a prompt like this: C> with what purpose I can't remember. I have my linux partition designated as the active one (via linux fdisk). I don't remember if I ever get prompted by LILO on those Win95 reboots or not, it's been ages since I had to boot Win95, and I think I will reclaim the 800 megs it's taking on my disk as soon as I figure out how to conveniently make use of a second partition of that size.
