this varies with distribution, you may need to pass something to the kernel
at boot... Here, I just did a quick search and found this, I hope it helps:

Not a huge issue, GRUB will work fine, and LILO has finally overcome this...

It doesn't appear to be an issue... You have a 1 meg SWAP file??? You will
need to re-partition the linux (6 gig) partition to get a SWAP space(make it

And, for what it's worth, I'm semi-sure ATA100 will work at ATA33, at least
so you can get it installed, and then you can pass args, and edit lilo.conf...
Hope this helps!
