Windows is on hda.  I originally installed lilo on MBR of hda.
lilo.conf is ok.  It tells dos to boot off hda and linux to boot off
hdb.  I've gone over the lilo howto, but this problem isn't mentioned.
Kinda nutty because I have a fairly typical setup, but this weird ass
problem.  I'll go check the stuff in doc to see if there's a hint to a
solution.  Is there a way I can look at exactly waht Lilo writes to the
mbr?
