Hi Vipul
Your problem is what I faced.
Do the following.
First be sure, that you have made your linux 7.0 bootable floopy.
Now as your linux get installed, boot your system from linux bootable
floppy. Now as you get linux prompt, give you linux user name (root) and
passowrd. Now open you /etc/lilo.conf and add a line
lba32 ( instaed of liner, comment liner)
now recompile lilo, by typing 'lilo' but make sure that you have configured
other OS in your lilo configuration.
Now you will get lilo prompt.
yes it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
