Jon,
Thanks for the suggestion. It worked just fine in about ten minutes!

One of the options from linuxrc's menu (the original boot disk) is `Start
Installed System', which works very well. It starts up a generic IDE kernel, and all you have to do is specify where / is (in my case, /dev/hda5). You'll get into your system normally that way, and you can re-initiallize LILO and so forth from there.
If this doesn't work, you may need to `Start Rescue System', mount your
Linux disk on /mnt, and edit your /mnt/etc/fstab appropriately. Keep us posted... :)

to
boot up Linux and Win98, each on a separate HDD. I needed to reinstall Win98, so it overwrote the MBR and LILO. Win98 boots up OK, but I'm lost on how to access Linux. I tried using the boot floppy for my configuration, but it appears that some mount points may have changed, because the boot process stops with a "kernel panic...". My SuSE original boot disk is bad (see other posting!), so I'm trying to figure how to fix this, rather than reinstalling SuSE. I do not have a rescue disk (ugh!).
I could reload SuSE and set it up in a couple of hours, but it would be an learning exercise for me to fix the problem, if at all possible.
Any thoughts?
