1. Partition your hard disk into
/dev/hda1 as / around 1GB
/dev/hda2 - 64MB (Swap)
/dev/hda3 as /home around 9GB

P.S.
There is an upcoming Slackware 7.1 that has a new Lilo:
a1/lilo.tgz: Upgraded to lilo-21.4.2. For machines with a recent BIOS
using large IDE hard drives, this version of LILO removes the
restriction that the kernel must be within the first 1024
cylinders.
P.S. 2
I never had such problems with Lilo when using Maxtor Drives.
