I have installed Mandrake-Linux to my computer. The drives are laid out like
this:
/dev/hda1 - NTFS - NT boot
/dev/hda2 - NTFS
/dev/hdb1 - NTFS (3 Gig)
/dev/hdb2 - Linux (2.8 Gig)
/dev/hdb5 - Linux swap (200 K)
As you would guess Lilo doesn't boot into Linux in this situation because the

You need to do it the other way around with the 7M

Not so sure about your conclusions. I have 2 @ 13.5GB drives and each
has a 4GB windows (vfat) partition at the beginning of the drive. The
next partition is /boot - 16MB, swap - 256MB, and / - the rest of the
drive. Lilo is installed on the mbr of drive hda and to boot the linux
partition from dr

Your /etc/lilo.conf probably has boot=/dev/hdb..?
Where did you install lilo, in fact send me your lilo.conf and I'll
figure it out. With one linux boot partition, I can have lilo prompt
show just once in the boot sequence and it does not matter which drive I
put the linux partition.

Not if you just point lilo.conf to a kernel image. LILO has no problem
loading kernel images from other drives.

My Mandrake 7.2 boots up just fine from a cold boot. But if I do a
ctrl-Alt-Del, it gooes to the text "OK booting linux ." and stops there.
Never happens with a cold boot (power off/on).
What could be the problem?

Sounds like Windows (or whatever you're ctrl-alt-del'n' from) is leaving
your hardware in an unstable state. That's why Linux always does a cold
boot when it restarts (note the RAM checks after a Linux ctrl-alt-del).
A touch of the reset button will do wonders in these cases.
