 IIRC, primary good, logical bad. But you're right about booting from
other partitions. Also, IIRC, it will only boot from a 2nd, 3rd, etc
drive if the bootable partition on the first drive is FAT or NTFS.
 Seriously, if you know how to boot NT that's entirely on NTFS from
lilo, I'd love to know how. So far, everybody that claimed to do so had
a DOS partition in there.

See ya later,
