My goal is to boot the vmlinuz-2.2.12-smn2 since I've already got it
booting from a floppy (bzdisk).

Here's the info..........

/etc/lilo.conf:
boot = /dev/hda
delay = 50
timeout = 500
prompt
  default = new
  vga = normal
  read-only
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20
  label = linux
  initrd = /boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img
  root = /dev/hda6
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-smn2
  label = new
  root = /dev/hda6

fdisk /dev/hda:
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 524 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1         7     56196   83  Linux
/dev/hda2             8       524   4152802+   5  Extended
/dev/hda5             8        16     72261   82  Linux swap
/dev/hda6            17       524   4080478+  83  Linux


Thanks,
Scott
