Hmm... hadn't thought about this. If this is the case, boot with
LILO: linux root=/dev/hdaX
Experiment with all the X's you have. You will hit the correct one sometime or
the other.
Once it boots (quite possible that local filesystem mounting will fail) fsck
all linux partitions, fdisk -l to get the list of partitions, and then update
/etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf to reflect the new partition numbers. Then run
lilo and you should be alright.
