I'll do that way.
Can I keep the dos partition and then put LILO in MBR to boot dos, BL-2 and
BL-3?
How can I change lilo.conf?


Now I have:
linux swap in hda1; BL-3 installed from fd in had5;  empty hda6 and hda7;
LILO from BL-3 in MBR.
BL-3 boot when th pc is on.
Before putting LILO on MBR I changed lilo.conf in BL-3  from:

#boot=/dev/hda   ###  this line puts lilo in MBR of primary harddrive
                          ###  otherwise lilo goes in root partition
image=/boot/zimage
  label=BL3
  root=CURRENT
  read-write

to:

boot=/dev/hda   ###  this line puts lilo in MBR of primary harddrive
                          ###  otherwise lilo goes in root partition
image=/boot/zimage
  label=BL3
  root=/dev/hda5
  read-only  (looking on the mailing list it seems I had to keep
"read-write" in this line but it works)


thanks for help.
Giuseppe
