Hi,
Is this statement right : If I have lilo in boot sector of hda2 and I have
made hda1 (say win98 is there in hda1)
as active partition, then my lilo prompt won't be displayed at boot time and I
will get win98 directly.
Then, if I make hda2 active I'll get lilo while booting and I will be able to go
to win98 (in hda1) from lilo prompt
if I want.
Regards,
Raja.
