This is windoze shit, it wants to be on the first drive. You can either swap drives (make hda your windoze drive) or use this lilo trick: other=/dev/hdb1 label=doz table=/dev/hdb map-drive=0x80 to=0x81 map-drive=0x81 to=0x80this swaps the drives on the BIOS level. Works ok.
Ok well I got the network working properly with dhcp and everything. I can now do anything I want, except boot into windows. Every time I run lilo after adding the stuff to lilo.conf it gives me an error. It says something to the effect of missing map section. I went in there and I see where it identifies the map file and everything. I didnt even change that part. I just made it so it prompts and extended the delay. Then I added the stuff for the windows drive. lilo just quits with the map error. I am going to continue to look out on the internet, but I would again appreciate any help. Thank you.
