Hi ,

	I have installed WinNT on a Linux Box on a different disk	
	drive(/dev/hdc) rather than /dev/hda. I already had dos on hda.
	I included the following lines in lilo.conf for NT.

	other=/dev/hdc1
        label=WinNT
        table=/dev/hdc
        loader=/boot/chain.b
~
	By default, the loader should be /boot/chain.b . But, If i do not
	include the line , I get the error "Must specify LOADER for BIOS
	device 0x81" when i run just lilo.

	Once I include the line lili runs fine. After rebooting, when i
	type the WinNT at the lilo prompt, I get an error "Can't find the
	Loader".


	The following lines are included for dos in lilo.conf

	other=/dev/hda1
        label=dos
        table=/dev/hda


Bye

Sridhar
