Following with another newbie request I have already written the
bootloader to the dev/hda1. My win95(fat32) drive is dev/hdb1 mounted
as /win95 My kernel is 2.2.1 However I am buggered if I can correctly
write the lilo.conf or set up loadlin to boot win95. My win95 drive is
mounted on linux bootup. All help greatfully appreciated.
cheers,
Mike
