Two hard drive i386: Linux on /dev/hda, Win98 on /dev/hdb
The way The redhat installer sets up lilo my system will not boot win98 on th second disk. The following modifications to /etc/lilo.conf will 
correct this:

# win 98 stanza
other=/dev/hdb1
     map-drive = 0x80  #  These four lines are that do everything.
       to = 0x81           #
     map-drive = 0x81  #
       to = 0x80           #
        label=win

Assigning to a developer.
Comment 2 Erik Troan 2001-01-12 17:52:24 UTC 
Fixing this is quite tricky, as our internal lilo representation doesn't allow
duplicate entries within a single stanza.

Please consider this Jeremy.

GRUB is the recommended bootloader to use now.
