If it doesn't find a BOOT SECTOR (which is what indicates to the computer that the device contains an Operating System), it will go on and search the hard drive (C:) for a boot sector. If it doesn't find one there, it will look on the CD-ROM. Now- here's your dilemma. It's really a classic "Catch 22" situation.

possible boot infection
The key is in your paragraph that says: If I do a clean install to each disk (with only it in the system as the C drive) so both drives have boot records. Then modify the boot record of the Windows 98Se drive to look for a Windows2000 in the D drive - can I then swap drives around? In fact, I would install Win2K

/dev/boot is on hd0a and /dev/root is on /dev/hd24. (Another HD off the 50-pin port on the 29160 had been installed BEFORE the 2nd LVD drive - so that's why OSR504 root is on /dev/hd24.) I am using the ad160 driver that is for OSR505 since there was none for OSR504 and it worked on OSR504.

Can't boot to linux and only directly boot to win98
Even though you have WinXP on D:, the boot sector that you want to fix is the one on C:, the system partition. No matter where WinXP is installed (D: in your case), the boot process always starts with the first primary partition on the first physical drive - almost always Drive C: - which must be set Active.

LILO Boot error
Here is what I know of the MBR and partition boot sectors. "Fdisk /mbr" will restore Microsoft "boot code" to the Master Boot Record of the boot HDD, usually the Primary Master. (This perhaps should not be done, if you have a drive overlay in the MBR or if you suspect a boot sector virus.
