You have verified that your fstab does NOT have an entry like:
/boot /dev/hda3 ext3 defaults 0 0
You have also verified that /dev/hda3 is NOT bootable, right?
You have also verified that you reran lilo after editing lilo.conf?
Are you installing the lilo boot record _on the master boot record_?
The only way that your system would mount /dev/hda3 is if there's an
entry in the /etc/fstab file. Good luck!
