I have 3 hard-drives:

1st HD - win2k
2nd HD - RH7.2
3rd HD - SUSE8.0

how am i able to configure my lilo to boot the above 3?

Any help will be appreciated!

Right now, i am only able to dual boot redhat and win2k because these were the 2 which I setup initially. SUSE8, was a later install.
I am able to boot SUSE with a boot floppy, but i want it to be able to boot from my lilo selections too.

any updates?

well just edit your lilo.conf and have it point to the location of where Suse is located at on your hard drive.

i tried to set it to point to the image file, somehow, i think i must have made a mistake.

i have got an error msg reading: Bios drive 0x82 may not be accessible.

Fatal: Image has not been defined.

Can u pls give me a sample of the lilo.conf?

the scenario is like this:

hda - LILO on MBR
hda1 - win2k
hdb - redhat: hdb1 - /boot
hdb2 - swap
hdb3 - /
hdc1 - suse - /

how am i suppose to configure my lilo.conf in order to have multi-boot?

Using the image= line to boot another linux can be a little tricky. There are three ways to do it.

1. Install suse's lilo on its root ' / ' partition. Then put two lines like this in red hat's lilo.conf:

other=/dev/hdc1
label=suse

2. Copy suse's kernel to the red hat's /boot directory and then add these lines to red hat's lilo.conf:

image=/boot/<name_of_suse's_kernel>
root=/dev/hdc1
label=suse
read-only

3. This is a little more complicated than no. 2. You boot up into red hat and you make a directory. Let's call it ' suse '. So, run mkdir /suse. Then
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc1 /suse. Next, add these lines to red hat's lilo.conf:

image=/suse/<path_ to_suse's_kernel>
root=/dev/hdc1
label=suse
read-only

Run lilo and then run umount /suse.
