First the easy part: "03:02" is simply hda2. Look in /dev at the hda*
entries, and you'll see they are all major number 3, minor number
corresponding to their ending numbers. So that's your problem -- you told
the kernel to look for its root partition on drive hda, partition 2, and
then you moved it to hdc, partition 2. Since hda has only one partition, and
not even a Linux native, the kernel can't find the root (/) partition to
mount it.
What to do about it? Quick fix: at the LILO boot prompt, specify the option
"root=/dev/hdc2". Longer-term fix: once you've booted the system, change the
line in /etc/lilo.conf from "root=/dev/hda2" to "root=/dev/hdc2" and re-run
LILO. (Oh -- since you're using the MBR on D; rather than C:, you need to be
careful when running LILO -- I don't know how to tell it to install to hdc
instead of hda, but you'll nedd to figure that out.)
Closing note: I'm copying this back only to the group I saw it on,
linux-newbie. I doubt linux-kernel was an appropriate place for a beginner
level message of this sort -- you might want to be a bit more parsimonious
in deciding how many lists to post any one question to.
