my grub loader is working fine to boot mandrake linux 8.2, failsafe, windows xp, and redhat linux 7.2 , but now i want to use lilo as my boot loader. but i am unable to configure my lilo.conf.
basically i dont understand how do i specify the boot drive and the root drive for linux.
grub is very cool, and easy to configure.
my menu.lst looks something like this.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

i18n (hd0, 8 ) /boot/grub/messages
