I don't have expertise in this field, but for quite a while, when I used
to dual boot RedHat from one disk, & win95 from another, my lilo.conf
file was:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
disk = /dev/hdc
sectors = 63
heads = 255
cylinders = 784
other=/dev/hdc1
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
label = win95
table = /dev/hdc
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.31
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
To date, although I haven't given it a Herculean effort, I have not been
successful in modifying my Debian lilo.conf file to chose to boot from a
re-mapped hdc1.
Again, I am very much non-computer literate, and I couldn't explain the
detail of why this worked.
