lilo (from windows) lilo.cnf?

looking for some help configuring the lilo.com dos version of lilo. not
sure if it will do i want but here's what i'm trying.

i have dual-boot machine linux/winxp. i have lilo configured from the
linux partition and writen to the MBR. so, in linux i can type "lilo -R
dos" (dos is my winxp boot prompt) and then reboot my computer
straight into windows.

i'd like to do the same from the windows side. ie: use the lilo.com in
windows so that I can issue a "lilo -R (linux/dos)" to force a reboot
into either OS from windows.

just not sure what my lilo.cnf (windows version of lilo.conf) should look like, or what i should have in my /boot directory in windows. it appears that lilo.com is looking for both these things.

anybody done this and can offer some help?

btw, windows is on partition /dev/hda1, and linux on /dev/hda2.

thanks!
ken
