problem with dual boot

[nwoods29321]

I just installed Slackware 10.1 which uses Lilo. I have Slack using /dev/hda1 as /boot with Lilo in the MBR and /dev/hda2 as /. I have winblow$ 2k installed on /dev/hdb1. Lilo detected the winblow$ installation when it was installed but it will not boot. I can boot winblow$ myself since my bios lets me press f8 when it boots to let me choose the boot device. Doing it that way, winblow$ boots fine so it has to be something it the lilo.conf. Here is my lilo.conf:

boot="/dev/hda"
lba32
prompt
timeout="1200"
root=/dev/hda2
vga="790"

image="/boot/vmlinuz"
label="vmlinuz"
root="/dev/hda2"
read-only
vga="790"

image="/boot/vmlinuz.old"
label="vmlinuz.old"
root="/dev/hda2"
read-only
vga="790"

other=/dev/hdb1
label="NT"

image="/dev/hdb1"
root="/dev/hda2"

What is messed up??

The problem seems to be that, you are telling linux that the root partition for windows can be found on /dev/hda2.

Change this:

other=/dev/hdb1
label="NT"

image="/dev/hdb1"
root="/dev/hda2"

to this:

other=/dev/hdb1
label="NT"
table=/dev/hdb

Thanks for the help, I will test it next time I reboot to slack

Tried this:

other=/dev/hdb1
label="NT"
table=/dev/hdb

Still does not work

Silly question.. are you running /sbin/lilo everytime you change the config? Because you have to.
