The fact that windoze can't be booted is NOT lilo related. For example:
try setting the windoze partition active (using fdisk, partition magic, or
whatever tool you've got at hand). You'll see that windoze will not boot.
What I don't understand is how you've been able to install windoze on a

I see you've got your windoze on the 3rd HDD. The problem with M$-(win)doze
is that they HAVE TO RUN from the 1st (primary!) partition on the 1st HDD.
An exception is Neanderthal Technology, which can be ran from other partitions
(you still have to have the bootmanager on HDA1, though...)

For those following my ongoing saga...
I have gone with "wimp out" solution. I have gone and physically
switched my Win98 and Linux drives. Thus, Win98 becomes hda, and the
BIOS boots its MBR first. What I am now using is PowerQuest's
BootMagic to default to the Linux partition instead of LILO.

Not really. The only thing that comes to mind is that maybe the swapping
only works for drives on the same IDE channel. In other words 0x80/0x81
and 0x82/0x83. That is just a guess having neve
I tried setting hdd from 0x82 and from 0x83 but to no avail. Any
other ideas?

And one more time to make it a hat trick...
I just noticed in your original post that /dev/hdd is identified as BIOS
device 0x82, not 0x83
-
Boot other: /dev/hdd1, on /dev/hdd, loader /boot/chain.b
Caching device /dev/fd/6 (0x1641)
Those comment lines screwed things up a little in the posted message.
Here's that section of lilo.conf the way I intended it to look:
#Win98
other=/dev/hdd1
label=Win98
table=/dev/hdd
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x83
map-drive = 0x83
to = 0x8
I believe you need to use the "map-drive" option in the lilo.conf file
to tell Lilo that you want to swap the drives when you boot Windows. I
seldom do this myself, as it's more straight forward to just have
Windows on the primary/master drive to begin with.
Here's what I think the Win98 section
