Note that you always have to run lilo when you made changes in the config
file. In this run lilo prints an asterix (*) to the console for the
default kernel image.

Moving the Windows partition normally should do th job (I haven't tried
yet) butyou can also give lilo a default image if the above fails. You
only need to run

    # lilo -D <winlabel>

Only an idea: perhaps you can start the advertising bar using wine or
similar under linux ?;-)
