I have always found it best to segregate os's and the associated utilities
by disk, hence my machines are set up as follows.
hda - contains Linux distribution and lilo
hdb - w95, nt, be, solaris, wfw, whatever
modify /etc/lilo.conf as follows, but in your quest for ultimate truth I
suggest you read the lilo man pages for explanation of the preamble and
stanzas. Please note the previous lilo chain loader option (any_d.b) has
been consolidated into the generic chain loader (chain.b), hence, you must
use the "map-drive" stanza to flip hda and hdb.
Dont forget to run /sbin/lilo from root when you are finished modifying the
etc/lilo.conf file.
Good luck.
