Dual boot = Lilo.conf HOWTO?
I am using Slax 5.0.6. I tried few things to make Lilo to dual boot
but didnt make it.so, i hope some1 will be nice and help me out.
my hdd is setup like this:
dev/sda1 ntfs windows 2000
dev/sda2 ntfs
dev/sda3 ntfs
dev/sda5 ext3 slax 5.0.6.
dev/sda6 swap
my unmodified (virgin) lilo.conf is like this:
boot = /dev/sda
prompt
timeout = 20
bitmap=/boot/splash.bmp
change-rules
reset
vga = normal
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = current
label = slax
read-write
so, what do i need to add, so lilo asks me at boot which system to load (win2000 or slax) ?

boot = /dev/sda
prompt
timeout = 20
bitmap=/boot/splash.bmp
change-rules
reset
vga = normal
default=winxp
# linux
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = current *I'd set this to /dev/sda5*
label = slax
read-write
#
# windows
other = /dev/sda1
label = winxp
#
remember to run "/sbin/lilo -v" after editing and saving the config.
I think this is pretty much it, this will default to windows after 20 seconds.
hope this helps, I havent dual booted in a long time
