Hello, Set boot to /dev/hda (the MBR) and your setup should work just fine.

Here's my deal: Windows in on hda1, Linux is : on hda3 (hda2 is a compaq backup, and hda4 is Linux Swap). What I want to : have happen is that when I start my comp without any boot floppies or CDs, I : have the choice to load Win or Lin. I would like Win as default, and I would : like a password protecting Win, although that's not so important. What I've : got as my lilo.conf at this point (which I have not yet loaded with the lilo : command) is: : : boot=/dev/hda3 : root=/dev/hda3 : install=/boot/boot.b : map=/boot/map : vga=normal : delay=20 : other=/dev/hda1 : label=Win : table=/dev/hda : password=secret : image=/vmlinuz : label=Linux : read-only : : I'm a little confused about boot being set, since shouldn't that maybe be : hda1, since windows MBR, er... I really don't get that part so well. The : last question is: As of now I'm using a floppy to boot to Linux. Otherwise : the system boots to Windows no questions asked, since I haven't touched the : MBR. If I load lilo into the MBR, and I decide it's not working out for me, : is there a quick way to pull it back out?
