Hi,

try to mount /dev/hda3 on e.g. /mnt and use this lilo.conf

...
image=/mnt/boot/vmlinuz
        label=debian
        root=/dev/hda3
        read-only

If you have a boot-Partition (for the Debian-System) mount the boot-Partition
instead of /dev/hda3 an use image=/mnt/vmlinuz.

I think lilo store the postion of the kernel on the harddisk, not the name.

Bye
Jan
