==============
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label=linux
root=/dev/hda5
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
table=/dev/hda
===================
Above is a copy of my /etc/lilo.conf. Assuming Windows is on
/dev/hda1, copy the "other" section out of my lilo.conf and put it in
yours and type /sbin/lilo to write the changes to the partition
table. If you want to boot to Windows by default add a line just
below "timeout" that says "default=dos" (I think.)
Also, you might want to make sure your /etc/fstab is aware of your
Windows partition just so you can access it in the future from within
Linux. :-)
