&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; What does the grub config file look like?  You might try running
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; grub-install.
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt; Well, I've not got it where I can boot to Mandrake (rescue mode
&gt; &gt;&gt; allowed me to install grub on the slave drive's MBR).  So now the
&gt; &gt;&gt; trick will be to add the other distros to Mandrake's grub.conf
&gt; &gt;&gt; file...haven't done that in quite a while.  I'm sure with a little
&gt; &gt;&gt; digging I can remember the format.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; It's pretty straight forward, just keep the number correct.  The
&gt; &gt; actual references to the filesystems (/dev/hda1) will be the same,
but
&gt; &gt; remember:
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; root (hd0,7)  is /dev/hda8
&gt; &gt; root (hd1,1)  is /dev/hdb2
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Make sure you get the kernel names right as some use variations.
&gt; &gt; Also, some use different references to the initrd image:
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; SuSE:        initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd
&gt; &gt; Mandrake:    initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.img
&gt; &gt;
&gt; Do I need to add entries in Mandrake's /etc/fstab before they can be
&gt; booted from entries in lilo.conf?

No.  fstab is only used after boot to know what to mount.  And I thought
we were talking about grub, not lilo??
