Thanks folks for all of your help, it's now 3 am and I finally got it to
work....
You were all correct about what I should do.
What I was missing was the fact that I am booting NT, 98 and RH6.2 on
this box as it serves many roles.
The way I got NT 's boot loader to co-exist with lilo was by exporting
the boot sector info to a file by using:
dd if=/dev/hda6 of=/mnt/floppy/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
I then setup NT's boot.ini to use bootsect.lnx...
Anyway, I did not remeber that I needed to create a new file via. dd to
setup the CDRW, so even though I was following everything to the letter,
NT still had an old copy of the boot information in bootsect.lnx,
suddenly I realised why my new lilo.conf was not beong reflected upon
boot...
Anyway thanks folks,
strangely, after getting the CDRW to work, I couldn't connect with linux
to the internet anymore, even though the modem dialed.. oh well, that's
another battle for another day.
Thanks folks,
Ahbaid.
