Michael,

Changing LILO root to /dev/hda3 made no difference. Other ideas?

How is lilo.conf supposed to work with the recommended partition layout? I
haven't created a setup like this before where the boot image is on an
optionally mounted separate partition. What does LILO do with /boot/bzImage?
How does it know that refers to /dev/hda1? Since /boot/bzImage is a
temporary mount/chroot during installation, and not really on /boot of
/dev/hda3, why should 'image = /boot/bzImage' work?

Cheers,

Robin
