OK, here's some info....
Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 840 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 271 2048728+ b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 272 840 4301640 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 272 289 136048+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda6 290 561 2056288+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda7 562 840 2109208+ 83 Linux native
hda6 is Slackware 8
hda7 is unused, formated ext2
I used Parrtition magic to repartition, and only hda1 shows in Bootmagic
boot menu. PM has a convert menu that allows conversion to primary, but
hda6 doesn't have that option. Hda7 does, for some reason. I didn't
install lilo during setup of slack, using a boot disk (works fine using
"mount root=/dev/hda6 vga=791"), but wanted to add lilo and have these
partitions show up in Bootmagic, or just install lilo to mbr and use that
for everything.
I did install lilo to hda6, here's lilo.conf
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
lba32 # Allow booting past 1024th cylinder with a recent BIOS
boot = /dev/hda6
#compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
delay = 50
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
vga = 791
[ SNIP ]
# ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda6
label = Linux1
read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for
checking
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# DOS bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1
label = Win95
table = /dev/hda
# DOS bootable partition config ends
