Hi Anthony,
In situations like this, I tell lilo before rebooting to boot to "Windows"
(lilo image label) for the next boot only.
# lilo -R Windows
As opposed to -D Windows (or editing lilo.conf), which sets the default
boot option to that label.
Cheers,
- Simon

Hi all,
In the course of my day, I am occasionally forced to boot Windows. I also do
this remotely...
However, whenever I do, I am stuck with a Windows machine until I can go
back to the office, or have someone select
the correct bootloader option for me on reboot. (Which isnt always an
option.)
I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to re-apply my bootloader settings (yes,
Its lilo, and I don't want to get into any
religious wars about it.. I just like it.. :) :)) so I can go back to the
warm fuzzy Gentoo install I have? I've got a ext2/ext3
browser for XP, so I can read and edit/save files to the ext2 boot
partition. But how do I re-run lilo? Is this a case of grub
being the only thing that'll do it because saving the config file would
suffice??
Just wondering.
Cheers!
Anthony.
