follow these steps:
edit /etc/lilo.conf using a text editor like pico
scroll down to the line that says: default = Linux or something like that.
Now, look for a line that says: other = /dev/hdxx and just after that, a
line that says: label = win or something.
You've got to change the Linux in the default = Linux line, to what it
says after the label =
eg:
prompt
default = Linux <---------- This line
vga = normal
read-only
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label = Linux <---------- Corrsp to this line
root = /dev/hda4
other = /dev/hda1
label = win <---------- Change to this
table=/dev/hda
So you get:
default = win
