I would try it this way. /dev/hda -> linux/gnu :-) /dev/hdb -> Winders /dev/hdc->CDROM Winders doesn't really require primary master but does prefer first channel. Disconnect your linux drive, install 98, reconnect linux, update lilo. When you reboot with the linux drive reconnected it'll be the first boot record loaded and therefore the first drive loaded. Lilo will only pass command to the second drive when you tell it to so that's when the Winders bootloader will kick in. That should work fine and have minimal performance impact. As for the CDROM it helps to have it on a different channel if you like to gain full performance from it due to IDE's limitations. Dat's all.
