[aclug-L] lilo help

[Wayne White <wwhite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I finally got the new laptop running RedHat 6.0
with the 2.2.5 kernel. Now I would like to change lilo
so that winblows is the default OS. I have tried to 
change it and keep getting errors. 

Currently lilo.conf is as follows:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/bzImage
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hda6
        read-only
other=/dev/hda1
        label=win
        table=/dev/hda

This lilo.conf works fine and sets up linux as the default
and will boot winblows if it is selected at boot. However,
if I change it to the following:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/dev/hda1
        label=win
        table=/dev/hda
other=/boot/bzImage
        label=linux
        root=/dev/hda6
        read-only

With this lilo.conf when I run lilo it adds win*, but reports
an error at about line 8. With this situation nothing boots.

What am I doing wrong, other than wanting winblows as the 
default? How do I fix it?

Thanx,

Wayne
