[Plug] lilo Partition entry not found


My Sony Viao F250 laptop came preinstalled with win98. I nuked the win98
partition and installed Linux. I then proceeded to install win98 from
the recovery CD. This is not a win98 install CD so it did not over-write
the mbr.  I modified lilo.conf adding

other=/dev/hda5
 	label=win
	table=/dev/hda

running lilo gives the message
"Partition entry not found"

I think the problem is in /boot/map. The lilo man page says that /boot/map
contains the name and location of kernel(s) to boot. Since I installed
linux first, /boot/map contains only the location of the linux kernel. How
do I add the win98 kernel to /boot/map?

thanks for any info,
son
