If you try and configure LILO via Yast you are right, it WILL NOT install on hde. However, if you edit the /etc/lilo.conf file directly, you can get round this. Look for the line which says boot=/dev/hda and change it to boot=/dev/hde
Did you try: boot=/dev/hda linear vga=normal read-only prompt timeout=100 # End LILO global Section # image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda4 label = linux # other = /dev/hdb1 label = . map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x81 map-drive = 0x81 to = 0x80 table = /dev/hdb # other = /dev/hdd1 label = win98 map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x83 map-drive = 0x83 to = 0x80 table = /dev/hdd # other = /dev/hde1 label = win98b map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x84 map-drive = 0x84 to = 0x80 table = /dev/hde
. Then save the file and re-run /sbin/lilo and you should be right.
That's what I tried next, thinking that I had discovered the Holy Grail. Alas, the LiLO prompt came up all right, choosing 2 (= boot Linux) booted linux, but choosing 1 (booting Windows) filled the screen with a nice list og 0 and I... I first tried, fdisk /mbr, to no avail, then tried to copy the backup copy of the fat /boot/boot.0.200 back to the MBR (as advised in the LILO Howto), and blew the fat altogether, and was left to reinstalling everything.
So clearly, this does not work.
