Your /boot partition must not be ReiserFS formatted. That should be
plain old ttso's ext2. Then, LILO will boot the kernel from /boot,
and have Linux running in a jiffy.
A /boot > 16 MB is no use. On my m/c, I have a /boot of 10 mb, and it
boots win98, SuSE and Debian. And yet, more than 6 mb must nbe free.
