Dual Booting (Part II)

[Sir Hoagy of the Marshlands <consigliere@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After securing a copy of System Commander, I was assured
it would handle my dual-boot woes without trouble.
Well, sorta.

Here's a refresher:

Running Win98 on my primary (6.4 gig) hard drive.
Running Linux on my secondary (2.5 gig) hard drive.
Seperate hard drives here, not one big one.

Win98 has to be the master; no argument there.
Linux needs to be the slave....but that's only half
of it.

No matter what boot manager I've tried, I keep getting
the same error message: the bootable partition of Linux
is considered "non FAT-32 and unformatted...do I want
to format it?"

'course not!

Someone told me all they had to do was edit /etc/lilo.conf
and change the first line where it says

boot = /dev/hda

to now read

boot = /dev/hdb1

Then, run lilo and I should be all set.

He said he didn't have to change /etc/fstab...just that
boot line in the lilo.conf

Before I attempt to do this....

(1) Does it *sound* like it should work?  LILO will NOT be my boot
loader...
(2) If I change this, is it possible to un-change it?  I had a hell of
    a time last weekend after I did a dumb thing on Linux, but I was
    able to get back into single-user, and with the help of Bruce,
    fix my mistake.

Opinions, anyone?
