Scott, thanks so much! As it turns out, I couldn't get the small drive
to boot after all. Fortunately, I know that hdb is partitioned like so:
hdb1: Swap, 1GB
hdb2: /boot, 200MB
hdb3: /, 55GB or so[1]
The rescue disk didn't complain when I tried to mount the swap partition
as ext2, so I'm not sure if it will work properly when I try it again
the non-idiotic way (i.e. with hdb2 and hdb3).
Does this look right?
mkdir /boot
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb2 /boot
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb3 /
/sbin/lilo -v -C /etc/lilo.conf
reboot now
(I'm omitting the step of changing lilo.conf since the Linux drive is
and will remain hdb.)

it had taken me so long to cleverly edit my profanity that 55GB was no
longer noteworthy.
