Steve,
If you don't know the answer that does not mean that you're stupid, a
dummy nor a comlete idiot. Just a tyro.

Now, my main system has three physical hard drives and three OSes: Linux,
DOS 7 and win95. Win95 is on /dev/hda1 (c:), DOS 7 on /dev/hdb1 (d:) and
Linux is on /dev/hdc1. lilo boots into any of the three, and swaps the drive
maps for DOS and win so each thinks it's on drive c: when booting. If you
want a copy of my /etc/lilo.conf, send me an email.
