Depends. Are you installing the LILO boot block in the MBR or the boot
record of the partition? If you're not going the MBR route, the hda3
line is correct.
I believe debian *always* installs LILO in the boot record and uses the
'mbr' program to write a new mbr (?? This is from memory - I'm not
looking at the script)
I personally never put LILO in the MBR cos OS/2 and Win95 view the MBR
as their territory ...

:no? Debian's installation gets this wrong, listing the boot device as
:a partition on the disk, when you're supposed to use the whole disk.
