hi all, thnx for all of your inputs, and now I am thru,
this is how is all happened (got back to shape): at lilo prompt : lilo root=/dev/hdc1 and it went in nicely, I think the beauty of entire stuff was that it made me realise the fact that lilo, is undoubtedly a powerful Linux loader, for the simple reason that 1. I can pass the command line parameters to reconfigure the missing parts required at boot time. 2. It wont work until everything required is in proper place. So once I was in, I edited lilo.conf with correct root partition location, and for the RAM thing, specified addtional entry as append = "mem=255M" and then lilo -v to write the boot sector. Rebooted and voila everything is in place. Thanks all for the excellent support.
