ELX Bootloader

[JJ Watson]

I have LILO, but I am not sure which hd is windoze, I think it is hdc1. At any rate, when I use the 
Boot Manager utility and modify lilo.cfg, it informs me that it is incorrect. Here is the file:

boot="/dev/hdc"
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout="200"
message=/boot/message
lba32
default=ELX

image="/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17-3elx"
	label="ELX"
	initrd="/boot/initrd-2.4.17-3elx.img"
	read-only
	root="/dev/hdd5"

other=/dev/hdc
	label="doze"
