The following is my Redhat Linux lilo.conf which boots my
5 OSes in my PC:
/etc/lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=100
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=redhatlinux
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=win98
other=/dev/hda2
label=mandrakelinux
other=/dev/hda4
label=freebsd4.1
other=/dev/hdb1
label=suselinux
---------
After you edit your lilo, run: /sbin/lilo -v;
Reboot. When "lilo" sign appears, hit TAB key.
You should see all the boot labels. Just choose
what you need.
Good luck!
