Bill,
I think that this is BIOS dependent. I have 3 physical hard drives and 3
OSes installed. Win95 is on /dev/hda1, DOS 7 is on /dev/hdb1 and Linux (RH
5.1 currently) is on /dev/hdc1. LILO doesn't care where they are and I boot
into each one from the floppy drive.
I'd be happy to post my /etc/lilo.conf for those who want a triple-booting
system, too. (However, I'm down to only 1 win95 app now, 2 16-bit win apps
and 3 critical DOS apps. The 16-bit win apps have no linux equivalents so I
need to see if wine or wabi will run them, and I need to set up dosemu for
the DOS apps.)
