Most likely hda2 is an extended partition, which contains 
two logical partitions (hda5 and hda6).

Also - I believe the LILO limit is that the entire kernel
must be below cylinder 1024.  You might want to see if you
can make hda3 / and hda5 /usr/local.  (I know, it might mean
a lot of work, but it might mean that LILO will work...)

Good luck
