Hiya,
I just went through this a week ago. I had a Gentoo install on the
master and a windows me install on the slave HD. I was told that the
windows install would not boot unless it was either seleced as master
(as in bios) or tricked into thinking it was using lilo.conf sorcery.
So, my setup is thus:
Gentoo on master
Wind. on slave
lilo.conf:
menu-scheme=Wb
prompt
boot=/dev/hda1
map = /boot/map
disk=/dev/hda
lba32
delay=50
timeout=100
vga = normal
default=r7
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-gentoo-r7
label=r7
root = /dev/hda6
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
read-only
other = /dev/hdb1
label=win
map-drive=0x80
to=0x81
map-drive=0x81
to=0x80
The map-drive is the key, which from what I was told, causes the d: and
c: drives to appear swiched.
Good luck...
