        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^  _This_ is the dummy.

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  while this one should be /dev/md5.

What lilo needs is the information on how to translate an offset in
the /dev/md5 partition (the posistion of map, boot.x, vmlinuz etc.)
into a C/H/S-setup for the BIOS to load the kernel.  That is why it
needs the info for /dev/md5, while the rest is irrelevant.
