Here is the germane portion of my lilo.conf. I can boot Win98 or my backup
Win98. The key is to temporarily switch the order of the partitions so that
the one you want to boot appears as hda.
other=/dev/hda1
label=win
table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/hdb1
label=winbak
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
table=/dev/hdb
