Lilo will let you set it up to boot from any drive, and any partition, but
there is some limit, I think the boot partition has to be before the 1023
cylinder, on the disks, so you might have to alter some partitions, quick
and easy to do with partition magic 3 and up.

Subject: Install Question...
Have a questions concerning installation of Linux. I want to install Linux
on my 3rd HD. 1st HD is Win95, 2nd HD is Misc. and my 3rd HD is available.
Problem is that I am unable via my BIOS to boot on any other drive than c:\
which is the 1st HD (obviously). How, when I install, can I have the option
to boot into either system (i.e.. win95 or Linux)?
Also, when installing, does the install process prompt you for location of
which drive to use? (I know that it asks for the partition info, but what
about drive location?)
