1. How to increase ext2 qemu BL-3.5qemu.img size?
I tried:
a) cat BL3-5img > new.img
b) dd if=/dev/zero of=temp.img bs=1k count=300000
c) cat temp.img >> new.img
d) qemu -hda new.img -cdrom gparted.iso -boot d

I used gparted to resize hda1 (in new.img) to full size of new.img.

e) qemu -hda new.img

It prints LI and stops. No LO for LILO :(.
How to force lilo to run?

2. How /etc/lilo.conf should be to install lilo to another image?
qemu -hda BL3-5qemu.img -hdb new.img -boot c

lilo should be installed to /dev/hdb1 (new.img) but i can't manage
to create correct /etc/lilo.conf 

I also did after booting:
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
chroot /mnt
lilo
but it doesn't work, either.

3. BTW there is something wrong with initrd.gz in DOS version of BL3.5

In qemu, I boot BasicLinux from DOS (C:\baslin), I do: startx,
choose A, B, or C; PS/2 mouse, 2 buttons (this config works with
BL3-5qemu.img), press Enter and... and I get a blank screen.

I did also: mounted another copy of FS.IMG, deleted all files, mounted
copy of BL3-5qemu.img, copied all files form BL3-5qemu.img to FS.IMG,
unmounted both and rebooted. BasicLinux boots, I do startx, choose again
A, B, or C; PS/2 mouse, 2 buttons, press Enter and... and again
a blank screen. Which is quite strange as 
qemu -hda BL3-5qemu.img
works OK and startx and JWM work too.
