Additional info:
http://www.linux.org/HOWTO/mini/LILO.html
file:/usr/doc/lilo*/
a. create a dos/windows boot floppy with fdisk.exe ( important )
create a backup linux boot floppy...
dd if=/boot/vmlinuz-xxxxx of=/dev/fd0
b. now try your lilo experiments
root# vi /etc/lilo.conf:
#
# Dual boot
#
boot=/dev/hda
#
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
#
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12 ( whatever kernel you want/have )
label=linux-2.2.12
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
# append="mem=128M"
#
# Windows 98
#
other=/dev/hda1
table=/dev/hda
label=Win98
#
# end of file
root# lilo ( run lilo )
reboot... hit [tab] at lilo prompt to see what you can boot
if you(lilo) get stuck....use dos/windows to "fdisk /mbr" and
try to fix the lilo.conf file again
have fun
