Thanks for the help...
I did a mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc1 and then redid the dsl-hdinstall to /dev/hdc1
I got the same problem......
After I thought about it some more it hit me...
It was a LILO problem not a DSL install problem.... And to be perfectly honest it was a USER (i shot myself in the foot) problem not really a LILO problem.
I had loaded two Linux distributions: DSL to /dev/hdc1 and VectorLinux to /dev/hdc2
Somehow LILO was trying to start DSL using some of Vector....
I went to www.troubleshooters/linux/lilo.htm and did some reading... My /etc/lilo.conf file was all wrong for what I was trying to do.
I created some mount points.... changed my lilo.conf....reran LILO and presto! I can now boot DSL from my hard drive.
Next I'm going to tackle bitmap images and LILO.... after that maybe I'll dabble with something easier like cold fusion or mid-east peace...
Thanks for the advice.
Great Distribution.

The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "
