I assume that lilo comes up when you boot, and then starts linux?
In linux, as root, edit /etc/lilo.conf ; towards the bottom, there's
a segment that talks about "other operating systems"; ite mentions HURD
as an example. Delete the comment characters at the beginning of the
lines identifying the partition and label, edit the partition and label
info to the partition where windows is and a label like Gate$ware.
Save your work, at the prompt type the command /sbin/lilo ; it should say
added linux *
added SpawnOfRedmond
or whatever you labelled it. The next time you boot, at the LILO prompt
hit Shift or Tab on the left side of the keyboard, you should get a list
of OSen and a prompt to type one in.
