"/dev/hdba" is bad ... something whacky ...
- you should avoid typo mistakes in lilo.conf
windoze is usually /dev/hda1 ( aka C: ) and best to keep it that way on
/dev/hda1
linux hopefully is on a different disk say /dev/hdc

yup... lilo can overwrite the MBR to boot either linux or windoze
- make sure you nave a windoze boot floppy and a linux-boot floppy
lilo.conf examples have info for setting up the dual-boot with windoze
- watch out for partition numbers
