hda5 is boot, 6 is root, 8 is home.
Should work fine with an extended/logical partition. Not sure about lilo, but I think it works too.

AFAIK grub/lilo cannot find the kernel if it is on a logical or extended partition, they specifically require the kernel to be on a primary regular partition. On the ix86 platform using DOS disklabels
I was convinced of the contrary, but it's probably a case of bad (human) memory. I seemed to remember that I had RH7.3 on a logical partition. Lilo on the MBR passed control to GRUB on the boot sector of that partition, and GRUB would boot the kernel in the directory (not partition) /boot. But I may be wrong. Regards,
