Additionally, you can use the "map-drive" directive in your lilo.conf to
fix this. For all intents and purposes, win31/95 thinks your second,
third, fourth, etc, drive is your first. Something like this:
other=/dev/sdb1
label=win95
table=/dev/sdb
loader=/boot/chain.b
alias=4
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x82
map-drive = 0x82
to = 0x80
where 0x82 represents my third drive, and 0x80 represents my first,
/dev/hda.
