Description Need Real Name 2000-11-11 15:56:47 UTC

I have a Windows 98 partition in hdc1, after making a clean RedHat
7 install in hda1, lilo would not boot into windows.

In lilo.conf there was

other=/dev/hdc1
	label=win

I had to change it to:


other=/dev/hdc1
     label=win
     table=/dev/hdc
     map-drive=0x80
     to=0x81
     map-drive=0x81
     to=0x80

And now it boots

There's no way to deterministically tell the drive mapping with an x86 machine.
 Future releases will allow you to change the drive ordering during the install.
