[luau] Swap space for 7.3

[Lucas]

Hi Warren,

Thanks for the reply. I have more questions:
- Can LILO work from hdb? Because my drive schema is as follows:
hda -> win FAT32
hdb -> hdb1 NTFS
       hdb2 Linux_Ext2
       hdb3 Linux_swap

Do I have to somewhat point the MBR to read hdb2 so that LILO can be
started up?

Thanks!

Lucas
