I normally boot to my /hda drive but installed R.H.6.1 on my /hdb drive as
well.

Both have R.H.6.1 now.  I made a boot disk when I installed both and with
the boot disk from the hdb install can boot to that drive.

How would I edit my fstab and or lilo.conf to allow my normal hd boot to
give me the option of booting to either drive ?

I have read the lilo manual but it is not clear on what to put where.

Below is copy of my /hda2/etc/fstab and lilo.conf;

>From what I can tell I have to edit my /hda2/lilo.conf to include the
/hdb2 boot stuff and then what do I do to boot to either one ?
