 This looks like it should work fine to me, also.  I wonder what
 version of `boot-floppies' you are running?  If you boot with the
 rescue floppy, using a boot commmand line like: "rescue
 root=/dev/hda3", then after booting, run `lilo' once, does it reboot
 after that?  If so, then it should work correctly from the beginning
 in 2.2.9.

 I think that `compact' is meant for floppy boots more than hard disk
 ones.
