I assume you are installing from the floppy version
of BasicLinux.  When you executed install-to-hd, 
did it ask you to insert the first floppy and then 
it copied from it?  That was zimage going into /boot

If there is no zimage in your /boot directory, you
probably are still running on the ramdisk.  As the 
instructions say, you need to reboot and run from
the HD partition you have just created.  On that
partition you should find the zimage file sitting
in the /boot directory.  It is on that partition
you execute:  lilo -v

Nope.  BL3.5 is just the current version of BL3.
Anything we say about BL3 applies to version 3.5

Cheers,
