Windows needs to think it is on hda. I have Windows on hda1 and a backup
copy on hdb1. I can boot either one with the following lilo.conf entries.
other=/dev/hda1
label=win
table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/hdb1
label=winbak
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
table=/dev/hdb
I am not sure, but you may need to adjust the map-drive for your hdd.
