    Hi to all.

    I want to use RH + Windows + FreeBSD at the same machine.
    I had RH in a disk and Windows in another and now I installed the FreeBSD
    5.x at the same partition where reside my the Linux partition.
    After the FreeBSD installation the FreeBSD's partition manager overwrite my
    LILO. I tested it and the FreeBSD booted normaly.
    Now after I recovered my lilo, I had a boot error and/or read error on
    selecting the FreeBSD for boot.
    Follow my fdisk -l:
    Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
     

       Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/hda1 * 1 1174 9430123+ a5 FreeBSD
    /dev/hda3 1175 1189 120487+ 83 Linux
    /dev/hda4 1190 4865 29527470 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
    /dev/hda5 1190 1320 1052226 82 Linux swap
    /dev/hda6 1321 4865 28475181 83 Linux
     

    Disk /dev/hdb: 41.1 GB, 41110142976 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4998 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
     

       Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/hdb1 * 1 4998 40146403+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

    The entrie for the FreeBSD on my lilo.conf:
    other=/dev/hda1
            optional
            label=FreeBSD
            table=/dev/hda
            map-drive=0x82
            to=0x80
            map-drive=0x80
            to=0x82

    I also tested others settings in this section.
    How can I correct this problem?
