Well, you'll need to add your Windows OS selection in the /etc/lilo.conf file, then run lilo again to save the changes.

"image=/boot/vmlinuz
label="linux" root=/dev/hda6 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent acpi=ht splash=silent" vga=788 read-only" thats like the linux option. What kind of settings do I have tp input for windows? |
Add something like this to it:
other=/dev/hdXX label=windows Where XX is the hard drive partition letter and number it is installed to. Like if it was the first partition on the primary drive, it would be /dev/hda1 And you can add a default section in lilo to, for your default OS to boot into if you select nothing.. default=linux or default=windows Basically it would be the label used for the default section. |
