LILO _does_ boot Linux from /dev/hdb or /dev/hdc. I use this kind of booting all the time. So far I've not tried to see how well LILO boots Windows from hdb or hdc, but Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay can tell us if his setup is working (he has Linux on hda and Win98 on hdc).
I have LILO on the MBR of hda. - Manas Laha Sourangshu Bhattacharya wrote: > > Hi Everbody, > Thank you all for the enthusiastic response. I have tried both linear and > lba32 mode.
