Hello Kees,
I have something like this in my lilo.conf:

# second DOS bootable partition config begins
other  = /dev/hdb1
label  = Windows2
table  = /dev/hdb
map-drive=0x80
to=0x81
map-drive=0x81
to=0x80

This makes /dev/hdb to drive C and /dev/hda to drive D in a windows 
installation. First DOS Sections reads as described in docs. It resides on 
/dev/hda. Second Windows installation is on /dev/hdb.

HTH
Michael

With 2 windows, when starting the 2nd windows, the 1st windows partition must 
be made invisible or else the 2nd partition will not be C:
So the trick is: how to hide a partition. Is that possible with lilo

I believe this is explained in the installation docs.  I know they explain how 
to set up dual booting between Gentoo and Win, so I would guess it's just a 
matter of repeating the Win entry again.
