x   Booting Linux from /hdb is tricky.  I use LILO from /hda with the
following configuration:
#---------------------------------------------------
#
# general section
#
boot = /dev/hda2
install = /boot/boot.b
message = /boot/message
prompt
append="mem=128m"

# wait 20 seconds (200 10ths) for user to select the entry to load
timeout = 200

#
# default entry
#

image = /vmlinuz
        label = linux
        root = /dev/hda2
        read-only

#
# additional entries
#

image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-modular.orig
        label = hdb_linux_orig
        root = /dev/hdb1
        read-only

image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-modular_smp
        label = hdb_linux_smp
        root = /dev/hdb1
        read-only

#------------------------------------------------------

Obviously, I have several kernels available including 2.2.12 SMP.
This works for me.   

   Win2K most probably should reside on /hda and will require one more
LILO entry as:

#
#  Win98 access
#

other=/dev/hda1
        label=dos  

   Good luck!
