[BL] BL to hd

I did not succeed yet. 

While editing LILO I got:

#boot=/dev/hda 	##some tekst.
				##some tekst.
image=/boot/zimage
label=BL3
root=CURRENT
read-write

I changed it:

 boot=/dev/hda
 image=/boot/zimage
 label=BasicLinux
 root=/dev/hda1

And get forward by executing" lilo -v  "in shell.

But in the end I got:

Kernel panic: No init found 
Try passing init=option to kernel

I did some other tryals and got also:
mount:Mounting /dev/fdo on/fd failed : No such device on address.

I have also all the time had this:

The number of cycles for this disk is set to 1045. .... this is larger than 
1024 which may cause some problems. ?

Would it be better to do 2 hda: hda1 and hda2 ? 

I'll going to do everything from start again carefully but the LILO editing is 
quite strange. The other question is the IDsystem number: should it be 
83:Linux or something else like small Linux or old Linux or anything else.

Cheers, Tommi
