correct...I should have said 9x must be installed 1st partition>master.
When I got a new hd (master), win98se became the first on the slave and still booted with the map command in grub, but for the sake of keeping it simple, 98%+ do not care to deal with or learn how to do something like that. Point is, you can't install it that way, and who is going to install then rearrange the config, when it's completely unnecesssary. If I remember correctly, the ntloader will not boot a 9x from anywhere but 1st>master........but this is off topic since we are talking about win2k. I do not know how to do it in lilo...I use grub, only.
