RE: [Sheflug] some lilo

[Craig Andrews <nospam [at] fishbot.org.uk>]

I have used LILO to boot NT many times without a hitch. What you need is
the drive switching thing.

I can't remember the exact lines in lilo.conf, but the general gist is:

map 0x82 0x80

in the section for NT. This makes it appear to the NT drive that it is
running on primary master, by switching BIOS drives about. It actually
works very well. It does essentially the same thing as setting your BIOS
to boot off D.
