ohe error you made, windoz always needs to be on partition 1, no exceptions
at all!
The dos-labeled lines is incorrect as well, have a look in the lilo-manpage
there's a clear exampe near the bottom of it explaining exactly how to do
this.
I have attached my lilo.conf (yes I'm a poor sod still having windoz on
hda1 I know).
good luck!

I have written my own lilo.conf, which I have included at the end of this message, and then when I select windows from lilo get the error message: cannot find c:\windows\system\something.vxd, i cannot remember exactly.  basically it is looking for the windows boot loader. i am using windows millennium incase this matters.  my lilo.conf file is:
