===========================================
Use your boot floppy to get into linux and then, as root, run /sbin/lilo from
a command line. You should get a report back that lilo.conf has added win or
dos. Reboot w/o floppy and this time you should come to the lilo prompt. If
you hit the tab key you should see both sytems available for booting (linux
will probably be the default system).
