If you want to avoid B?IOS problems by putting all of the files needed to boot
in the first 1024 cylinders, make /dev/hdc1 smaller (10Mb should be heaps) and
mount /dev/hdc3 as /, and /dev/hdc1 as /boot. All of the files needed by LILO
to boot the kernel live in /boot, and 10Mb is more than adequate - I can easily
store 5 kernels in a 5Mb /boot partition.
