On my new comp first I installed RH 8 (root is /dev/hda6). After that I
installed Windows XP Professional on /dev/hda1. Windows rebooted and
worked fine. Then i started RH from CD to bring back lilo. Since then,
lilo works, linux works, but when i try to start XP i get something
like "Please remove other media" message. Here is that part of lilo:

other=/dev/hda1
        optional
        label=DOS

Does Win XP Pro requires some special parameters to start ?

Since RH 7.2, I have always chosen GRUB when dual booting. And I always recommend installing the Windows OS first, then Linux, when dual booting. This order has always worked for me. The other doesn't always work. I teach in a college where our students frequently have to dual boot, and sometimes triple boot. Try setting up a hard drive to triple boot Linux, Windows 2000 Server, and Novell Netware sometime! ;{)
