also fstab, i would reccomend making a boot disk or use the debian
install rescue cd(if your using the default kernel). lilo may complain
if you try to point it to a non-existant device. with a boot disk you
can do

linux root=/dev/hdb6

and have it boot, then you can run lilo to install the new bootloader
