The oddest thing: I delete and reformat a partition as a FAT partition in 
Disk Administrator.  If I logout and log back in, I can still see the 
drive I just formatted.  As I expect I should be able to.  If however, I 
reboot immediately back into Windows NT, Disk Administrator now says that 
the partition is of type "Unknown".  It didn't do this with GRUB on LM 
7.2 or with NetBSD.  It has to be the LILO that came with LM 8.0 that's 
giving me the problems.  Is LILO modifying NT FAT partition Ids?  It 
really shouldn't if it is.

NTFS works fine.  FAT doesn't.  I need FAT because I don't want to go 
messing around with experimental NTFS writing support (and the kernel 
compilation that goes with it).  Any suggestions anyone?

There isn't any LILO homepage out there anywhere is there?  At least I 
couldn't find one.  I thought every Un*x project had a homepage...
