...fortunately I happen to have an "old" (ie. 4 months ;-) copy of the v0.9
manual, in which the old format was supported. The equivalent /etc/lilo/config
needs to contain the following:

==========================
boot = /dev/hda3
verbose = 2
install = /etc/lilo/boot.b
force-backup = /etc/lilo/boot.0303
compact
prompt
timeout = 50

image = /Image
        label = I_use_linux_because_I_dont_like_MS_DOS
        root = /dev/hda3

other = /dev/hda1
        table = /dev/hda
        label = OS2
===========================

        The "force-backup" isn't in the original, but isn't a bad idea.
I assume that you would have to add the OS/2 as an "other = /dev/hda1,
as I guess that is what your OS/2 calls home. And the prompt and timeout
are nice touches to make things easier to use.
        Somebody should check this tho' -- as we all know how far you get
if you only RTFM and don't experiment ;-)

Regards,
Paul.
