If you use /dev/hdb as /dev/hda you must use the Floppy-Bootdisk to 
boot. Mount all needed partitions on /dev/hda and execute a shell. 
In the shell type /sbin/lilo

Now it will work.

I have done this several times and it works properly. remove the 
Floppy from the FD-Drive and reboot your system...
