According to the mkbootdisk man page, "The created boot disk looks for
the root filesystem on the device suggested by /etc/fstab." So maybe it
would work to temporarily change /etc/fstab so that /dev/hda5, instead of
/dev/hda7, corresponds to /. Run mkbootdisk, then change fstab back to
/dev/hda7 corresponding to /. But the boot floppy you already made should
work, provided at the lilo prompt you type "linux root=/dev/hda5".
