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/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?
