I looked through various HOWTOs and READMEs but I didn't find the answer to this
question:
Ona dual-boot Linux/Win95 machine, how do I change LILO's default boot OS (i.e.,
the one that boots when the LILO prompt times out) from Linux to Windows?
BEFORE YOU FLAME ME, consider that since Win95 will probably crash a lot more
often that Linux, it would be nice if, when Win95 is up, it rebooted back to
Win95 without human intervention. See my logic? ;-)
Here is what my lilo.conf looks like:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label=linux
root=/dev/hda8
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=win
table=/dev/hda
Thanks,
- Jeff
