I did not remount. So root FS is still ext2 until reboot. Besides,
file location of all files (kernel image, initrd image is stationally)
I thought lilo care only physical location. That is the reason behind
why it can put kernel image in DOS partition.

I did install kernel-image before editing fstab. Is not it enough?
I greped source of lilo and I only see "fstab" in configuration scripts
(liloconfig, lilo_find_mbr) which are not used and will not be affected
by my fstab edit.
I am sorry to bug you :-( (I think my system is working fine by the
process I described.)
