Hi
you must install / (root) into either 1st or 2nd partition of
your HD, otherwise the OS will not boot.
let me know...

Hi ,

        I have installed WinNT on a Linux Box on a different disk
        drive(/dev/hdc) rather than /dev/hda. I already had dos on hda.
        I included the following lines in lilo.conf for NT.

        other=/dev/hdc1
        label=WinNT
        table=/dev/hdc
        loader=/boot/chain.b

        By default, the loader should be /boot/chain.b . But, If i do not
        include the line , I get the error "Must specify LOADER for BIOS
        device 0x81" when i run just lilo.

        Once I include the line lili runs fine. After rebooting, when i
        type the WinNT at the lilo prompt, I get an error "Can't find the
        Loader".

        The following lines are included for dos in lilo.conf

        other=/dev/hda1
        label=dos
        table=/dev/hda

Bye
