AFAIK there is NO correct entry for that situation. I don't believe the win2K bootloader will handle that. Your LILO entry is correct if win2K would actually boot from other than the first IDE device. Frankly, as I remember I was flagged by the windows installer when a customer asked for that setup and it told me Windows had to be (at least partially) on the first disk, so the installation is a good question... Did you install windows in that position? I remember installing windows on other than /dev/hda in an IDE setup, but that was with /dev/hda known to the BIOS as an LS120, and in that case linux and windows booted off of /dev/hdc which was the first genuine hard drive.
