Never mind the how-to.... I decided to "wing it" and got lucky!
I figured that if the interactive grub command
setup (hd0)
sets grub up to the mbr of (hd0) then pointing a chainloader at (hd1)
should start with the mbr of (hd1)... I was right!
"So what if grub can't & lilo can, grub CAN boot lilo..."
I set up a lilo.conf with the above DrDos entry, did a
lilo -b /dev/hdc
And stuck this
title to_DrDos_via_lilo
rootnoverify (hd1)
chainloader +1
in my grub.conf which allows grub to boot lilo which CAN load my DrDos.
Now I can have my cake (use grub) And eat it to (keep lilo)
Thanks for all the help to all the good people on this list who offered
clues and more.
