boot win using lilo
i have two hardisks with one having RH6.2 and other win98
now, i've put the linux disk(8GB) as master and the
win98 disk(20GB..single partition) as slave. I added the line
other=/dev/hdb1
label=win
when i enter 'win' at the lilo prompt during boot..
it just hangs without any response
what could be the problem?

other=/dev/hdb also gives the same response
disk=dev/hdb and bios=0x80 give syntax errors while
running lilo...i've just added these two lines next
to label... is that ok..

oops typo, should be:
disk=/dev/hdb
probably it must be right behinf the other= statement
disk=/dev/hdb
probably it must be right behinf the other= statement

Windows is the problem. It just cannot boot from second drive, touch luck :-( The only way is to cheat Windows that it's booting from first drive:
other=/dev/hdb1
label = win
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
other=/dev/hdb1
label = win
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80

One more thing: is your second drive visible in BIOS?

ur last suggestion worked
(
other=/dev/hdb1
label = win
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
)
and i'm able to boot succesfully!

if this doesn't work too, try adding
disk=/dev/hdb
bios=0x80
to your "other" immage
