Thanks, but that won't do it.

/sbin/lilo barfs at /mnt/hdc3 (thinking about it, this is what I'd expect, as it isn't mounted when lilo starts and therefore can't exist).

Partition tables are as follows:

(SuSE) hdc

hdc1 /boot Primary ext2 24.69.mb
hdc2 Primary swap 435.94mb
hdc3 / Primary ext3 9771.64mb

Knoppix/Debian hda

hda1 / Primary ext3 17999.89mb
hda2 Primary swap 500.10mb
hda3 /home Primary ext3 22482.18mb


That's to say, the SuSE disk has a seperate /boot partition and the Knoppix disk has a seperate /home (but no seperate mount).

This is really hurting my brain..........
