Rich:
Had a lot of trouble with having anything on MBR or booting my second
drive, but perhaps I need to go back and take a second look. Thanks for
the feedback

Mike,
I have three OSes installed: linux on /dev/hdc1, win95 on /dev/hda1 and
DOS7 on /dev/hdb1. Linux will boot from anywhere, but both dos and win95
want to boot from c: and be the only OS in town. The secret's in lilo.conf.
The map-drive command swaps win95 or dos into drive c: before handing
control over to their loaders.
Works just fine.
