I might be wrong, but isn't "other" used only for windows? At least
all the lilo.conf's I've looked at on my systems had
"other=/dev/hda1" for the first line to boot into windows.
I hate to take a stab at what exactly you should have in your
lilo.conf, but my first guess is that the section refering to your
linux install would start with something like
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux90"
root=/dev/hdb <---seems like maybe a partition number goes behind?
and-so-on
and-so-on
maybe attach your whole lilo.conf and someone might be able to help
you better. Myself, I am sort of curious how you have windows
working with it.
