You can mount the filesystem on /dev/hda7 to a directory on your existing
linux partition.
first, create the directory where you wish to mount it.
mkdir /mnt/rh70
then mount it
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda7 /mnt/rh70
then just cd to the /mnt/rh70/boot directory and see what your image is
called. I presume that's all you wanted to know?
You should then add the lines to /etc/lilo as Andy previously posted.
Also, you do realise you must run /sbin/lilo to update your boot table after
modifying /etc/lilo.conf right?
BTW, i find it good houskeeping to make a symlink from /boot/<vmlinuz image>
to /vmlinuz, and also for System.map. That way if you ever upgrade your
kernel you never need to modify lilo.conf to reflect, since you'd have
image=/vmlinuz
Cheers,
