Best Dual boot set up

Hello all:

I have win98/RH 7.2 dual boot setup (each OS has it's own hard disk) and I
used a boot disk without LILO.  When I installed RH 7.2 I choose not to
install LILO (an obvious rookie move).  I plan on reformatting the Win disk
and installing W2000P (I still need to use Win for some apps).

What I want to do with the linux disk is install LILO and have the linux
disk be the first hard disk in the boot sequence (I at least know how to do
this).  It is my understanding that LILO will give me the option of booting
up the other disk.  Is this correct, or does this only work for DOS based
Win98?

I actually have /sbin/lilo,  but no /etc/lilo.conf  if that helps me get
LILO installed.

I can't seem to find a HOW TO on this.

Thanks to everyone for their help.

Alex
