[linux-help] someone good with lilo?

[james l <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I have a computer that has rh 7, debian?? (or some linux distro, I haven't
booted it up for a while), and 98. 
hda - rh7 /
hdb - 98 (hdb1), other

I can get 98 to boot by setting the bios to boot from D, and the others to
boot from C (via lilo)
I have tried to get 98 to work with lilo, but for some reason it won't 
(other=etc) I stumbled accross the bios setting and was wondering if
something like this would work (the stnayx may not be right, but you get
the idea)

boot=/dev/hdb
/dev/hdb=0x80 (boot drive)
/dev/hda=0x81 

other=/dev/hdb1
        label=win
        tabel=/dev/hdb

It (before installing the other distro), would boot, but it changed things and
reruning lilo didn't work, and deleted the backup. Actually it is caldera I
think, and didn't give me a choice on installing grub (another bootloader).

Can lilo handle the reassigning inside a label/image? (It would save a lot of
work)

PS I think it will work, but wasn't sure, and don't want to mess up my system.
