lilo error


on slackware, lilo keeps giving me the following error :
Fatal: Either FIX-TABLE or IGNORE-TABLE must be specified
using liloconfig im trying to add a 2000 windows partition and the slackware one.I think the problem comes up from the windows partition

#linux bootable partition
image= /vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda1
label - slackware

#windows bootable partition
other = /dev/hda2
label = 2000
table = /dev/hda

typing /sbin/lilo gives the above error




thanks you

If that is cut and paste : it should be
label = slackware

and make sure you're pointing to the right location of vmlinuz which is usually in
image = /boot/vmlinuz
