Re: Why cannot i boot win98 with it selected in lilo menu
I had similar issues and I did this, at the bottom of the /etc/lilo.conf file insert these lines and give it a try:
boot=/dev/hdX
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
compact
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36
label=linux
root=/dev/hdX2
read-only
other=/dev/hdX1
label=win
HTH
boot=/dev/hdX
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
compact
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36
label=linux
root=/dev/hdX2
read-only
other=/dev/hdX1
label=win
HTH

Re: Why cannot i boot win98 with it selected in lilo menu
Hi Whepin,
After my deep research for dual booting with windows98 and linux i had a lot of information to help you configure a dual boot.
First install Windows 98 in your pc .Say you have a 20 GB harddisk. Create a 2GB FAT16 partition
****(DO NOT CREATE A FAT 32 PARTITION and the SIZE SHOULD BE LESS THAN 2GB)****
Then Install your windows 98.
Now you have win98 in 2 GB partition and remaining 18GB free space. Restart and boot your system from Linux CD-ROM
While configuring the file systems use disk druid (if Redhat) for creating the file systems.
There will be one 2GB for windows.
So now create one "/" file system for 5 or 6 GB
Then create a swap partition for 500MB
REASON: you cannot create /usr, /var, /opt as separate file systems in case of a dual boot so everything resides under your "/" hence make "/" very big. Dont create any other file systems.
Now complete the installation and you will be able to dual boot with win98 and linux.
If you want one more partition in win98 now u can create a partition but make sure you follow the above procedure
