Hi alone :)
First, you can get "boot:" by hit the ALT key,
second, if it says you don't have a dos option, you didn't create it:
i.e.: I have a Debian and an ugly M$ partition:
in my /etc/lilo.conf, I have those lines (at the end):
.....
delay=30 ## 3 seconds to choose
image=/vmlinuz ## point toward the symlink to kernel
root=/dec/hdc1 ## Debian
label=1
read-only
other=/dev/hda ## bad bad M$ :)
label=2
So, when I wanna boot in M$, I hit ALT within the 3 seconds
the word "BOOT:" is on the screen, then it shows me:
BOOT: 1 2
and I hit 2.
Of course, after making any change to /etc/lilo.conf, you must
run lilo... :)
