What you need is to edit lilo.conf file, which is in /etc Here is how mine looks: boot = /dev/hda root = /dev/hdb2 install = /boot/boot.b map = /boot/map vga = normal read-only default = linux image = /vmlinuz label = Debian alias = linux image = /boot/vmlinbackup label = backup other = /dev/hda1 label = MS table = /dev/hda Yours would look something like this: ( considering you want to have Linux boot as a default) boot = /dev/hda root=/dev/hda3 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal read-only default-linux image=/vmlinuz label=Debian alias=linux other=/dev/hda1 label=MS table=/dev/hda Then save it, and run lilo /etc/lilo.conf Then reboot, and have a rescue disk ready just in case. And yes. To mount /hda1 and /hda2 what you need to do is edit /etc/fstab, adding 2 lines to it: /dev/hda1 mountpoint1 msdos rw 0 0 /dev/hda2 mountpoint2 msdos rw 0 0 This will automaticly mount partitions at the bootup. If your kernel supports vfat, use vfat instead of msdos. That way you will have long filename support. mountpoint1 and mountpoint2 are directories, which you need to create before editing fstab.
