I have two machines set up with hda/ running SuSE 7.3 Pro and hdc/ running Win98. Lilo cannot boot the Windows drive. Previously I had this working with older versions of SuSE (started with 6.1), and it even worked after updating the machines to SuSE 7.3, but I did a clean install of hda/. Now lilo says it is booting Win98, but nothing happens. The boot sector on hdc/ is fine. If I recable so it is C:\ on the primary ide, Win98 boots. Is this a problem with the newer version of lilo, or have I missed something. When I run lilo from the shell I get "bios drive 0xF86 may not be available". I haven't had time to research on line. I thought maybe Mr. Kreps might be aware of the issue.
