It is a scsi virtual disk , and VM display it as '' Hard Disk 1:
(SCSI 0:0)"

And I have partition the disk for 4 part .
/dev/sda1 /boot reiserfs
/dev/sda2 swap swap
/dev/sda3 / reiserfs
/dev/sda4 /usr reiserfs
So I tell the lilo to mount the root file system in the partition
/dev/sda3 , is it wrong ?
