You need to clarify: Are you runnin Windoze on hda1, Linux in a
partition on hda, or a 'second' drive (hdb), and then DOS on that
'added' (3rd?, hdd) harddrive? (your zip drive being hdc)
I'd guess from what you wrote, that the added DOS drive isn't
bootable, not because it's a LILO or GRUB problem, but because DOS
expects (demands) to be hda, ie, the *first* bootable drive.
If you do have Windows >= W9x on hda, edit MSDOS.SYS to
'BootGUI=0' and you'll have a *pure* DOS 7.x environment, no
Winblows overhead present, suitable for runnin *any* old DOS game,
even the ones on that 'added' drive. Your system will boot to a C:\
prompt, type 'win' to start W9x (no different than with Winblows <=
3.x). The drive you added is still viable space for either Winblows
or Linux, but it ain't bootable unless you wanna make it hda.
