Hmmm... that's interesting. Using Potato/Stable (YAY!) lilo and the
following conf works just fine and it doesn't overwrite anything. It's
Win2K Pro, not Advanced Server, in case that makes any difference. I
have no idea whether they're different in their handling of the boot
process...
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hdb1
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
prompt
vga=9
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
other=/dev/hda1
table=/dev/hda
label=Win2K
Wonder why you had to go the other route?
