Aaron....it's not really a secret. You need to change the first line of /etc/lilo.conf to point at the / partition (or /boot partition if you have one) instead of the mbr. For instance if the first line of /etc/lilo.conf ended in hda then you need to change it to hda1 if 1 is the / partition. Then run lilo as root to write the new info to the new location.
