My system has WinNT on hda and MDK on hdb. Not until Mandrake 8.2 have I
found these lines put into my lilo.conf:

  disk=/dev/hda bios=0x81
  disk=/dev/hdb bios=0x80
...
  other=/dev/hda1
    label=windows
    table=/dev/hda
    map-drive=0x80
        to 0x81
    map-drive=0x81
        to 0x80

I understand what these bios/drive lines are up to, but why? My system
works just fine without them. Furthermore, since I boot with ntldr in my
MBR (ok, it's a little weird) and lilo in /dev/hdb, the above lines kill
ntldr's ability to boot lilo.

So, each time Mandrake's System Tools creates a new lilo.conf, I have to
remove those lines. No Mandrake before 8.2 did this on this system. What
gives?
