You're right about the linux device structure regarding physical disks. I
however am using the same map-drive lines in my lilo.conf as you are,
except I am booting windows from the primary slave (hdb1). Why is it that
the same map-drive lines work for both you and I even though we are

I'm no BIOS expert, but I believe 0x80 is the "primary master" and 0x81
is the "secondary master". My cdrom is a "primary slave" (i.e. it is
physically connected to the "primary master").
I believe if I had connected my cdrom to the "secondary master" it would be
a "secondary slave". The "secon
I was successfully able to use the map-drive line in my lilo.conf to boot

The trouble is that Windows wants to boot from "C:", not "D:". You can use
lilo to remap the BIOS and fool it. My Windows drive is on hdc (hdb is my

long as I use the correct hexadecimal values.

Alec, thanks for the info. I was useful as Win2k does have boot loader
similar to NT4's. I could just make hda1 the partition with Win2k by
physically swapping the drives and then use the boot loader from Win2k
(given the necessary tweaks).

Hi,
Like most of you, I like playing with opeating systems. I am having
