Depending on your arrangement, you can just add the win98 config to your
lilo.conf file and then run 'lilo' from the command line. Lilo should
look something like this:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
default=Linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
lba32
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
other=/dev/hda1
label=Win98
table=/dev/hda
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=Linux
root=/dev/hda7
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=" hdd=ide-scsi"
read-only
Of course, your situation may differ, but that's about it. The part
about 'append= " hdd=ide-scsi"' is because I'm using the reiser
filesystem instead of ext2.
Make sure to run 'lilo' after you make any changes so that lilo will
reinstall to the mbr.
