Open your /mnt/hdc1/boot/grub/menu.list file AS ROOT, and make it look like this...

You can also add other options to your kernel line, like 'host=whatever', 'toram' ( if you have 128MB ram or more), 'secure' ( for passwords ) See your f2 and f3 options at boottime when booting from your cdrom for more options..

Before a shutdown, make a backup to hdc1.. From right/click menu, choose System > Backup/Restore and put ' hdc1 ' in the textbox.
The backup process copies almost everything in your /home/dsl dir to the backup.tar.gz .. the key file to save is called /home/dsl/.xserverrc
Upon reboot, your backup should restore automatically. You could also add the option "restore=hdc1' at boottime, to select it, if you had a backup in more than one location.
It's been a while since I played with doing this, and selecting something besides hd0 to boot from in my bios..
Let us know how it goes..
