Never tried having the swap in the first partition. I usually put a
small / or /boot partition first, then work out from there. Swap is
often (for me) in the second or third partition.
My RedHat 4.0 installation is _FRESH_ (01:15 in the morning here, I got
it last night) on a pure SCSI system with three fixed HDD's and 1
Iomega external SCSI. Installed Lilo 19 on MBR, 3 images + DOS/Win95.
Have you looked at your virtual terminals (F5 - F7) after running lilo?
What messages?
Best.
