Hiya,
It looks like there's some fooferah in that lilo config... that 'map-drive'
stuff are physical designations of your hard drives, 0x80 is your hda and
0x81 is your hdb or something like that...
Anyways, going from when I used to have a dual boot with Windows, just the
first three lines are necessary, like this:
other=dev/hda1
label=windows98
tabel=/dev/hda
Your default is set somewhere close to the top of lilo.conf, just change it
to:
default=windows98
While you're there, you can change the wait time as well, it think it goes
in 10-ths of a second
timeout=100
will give you ten seconds instead of the default five Mandrake sets in the
install.
Don't forget to recompile lilo after you've edited the file. As root, enter
/sbin/lilo at a command prompt.
