Hello Kevin,

good to hear from you again...

well, my lilo.conf is as follows
lba32
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda2
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
vga=normal

default=Linux

image=/vmlinuz
              label=Linux
              read-only

image=/vmlinuz.old
                  label=LinuxOLD
                  ready-only
                  optional

I suspect the problem is because the /boot directory is blank because
since the / mount point is reiserfs and can't mount, it can't get to
/boot ...

and I can't run lilo even after doing a chroot to /dev/hda1 as it
complains about missing files in /boot
