Looks pretty good to me...  Just make sure when you re-run lilo you specify
that the new lilo information should be written to the MBR of /dev/hdb.

Also, I wasn't aware you could use regular partitions as swap files, but if
I were you, I'd probably just go scrounge up a cheap 64MB drive from
Computer Rennaissance or somewheres and save myself the trouble...
