Hmmm, is your bios able to boot from a scsi disk ? The old reliable "/dev/hda1" always works. But I guess in your situation, it won't. :-)
change-rules reset default = windows_2K
Why not try it without this line? You have windows_2K listed, but no label matches it. The first in the list below is the default anyhow.
If you look at the file now, I've marked the changes I'm trying to make with ** on both sides. The default labels of windows and linux work just fine. I am simply trying to ident the two OSs more accurately. As long as I don't mess with the labels it works fine. I made a change to the boot order, moving windows tot he top to make it the default and that was accepted just fine, so I'm confused as to why now I'm getting the balk with the text in the label. ;-) One of the joys of playing with computers, I guess.
lba32 menu-scheme = Wg:kw:Wg:Wg message = /boot/message prompt read-only timeout = 80
other = /dev/sda1 label = windows **_2000**
image = /boot/vmlinuz label = **SuSE_** linux **_8.2** append = "hda=ide-scsi hdalun=0 splash=silent" initrd = /boot/initrd root = /dev/sdb3 vga = 0x31a <snip>
P.S. Did you know you can now have encrypted passwords with lilo? Just put password="" in the appropriate sections and lilo will stop and ask for the password and encrypt it, so no more bare passwords in lilo.conf.
Yet another good piece of information; thanks, dave
