The problem you are running into is that the version of lilo that comes
with 6.2 uses the BIOS to load the kernel.

One fix is to create a small (~16M) /boot partition at the start of the
disk.  Then your / partition can be anyware on the disk.

A second fix is to upgrade to the newest version of lilo.

You can start Linux by booting from a floppy.

You can use loadlin to boot Linux from Windows.
