There is a very cute trick to getting this fixed without resorting to moving
cables...
I'll quote the original post...
"...win95 wants to boot from the first hard drive (c:), not the third.
Use the map-drive command to make it appear to be the first drive when lilo
hands off control. Add these lines to the end of that stanza:
map-drive=0x80
to=0x82
map-drive=0x82
to=0x80
"
This works like a champ!
