Hey Guys. I just got my information from the archives
and thanks to Tom Clements and John McBride's emails I
was able to add Window's to the lilo config file... My
question now is that, How could I also add in my
Solaris 7 OS to the lilo config... I've tried it using
the same techniques with the windows thing but to no
avail.... I'm attaching a text file that contains the
lilo.conf entries and disk partitions... My windows
and solaris OS resides on the primary disk partition's
1 & 2 respectively... Could please somebody help
out... I'm just new to linux. Thanks again in advance
Bonn =)

Using /dev/hda as default device!
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1092.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
