You betcha ... thanks.  Between your post and a similar one on the Install 
board at the Ubuntu site, I'm up and running (at least, I can now triple-boot 
successfully and have have performed my first apt-get upgrade, so now I'm 
ready to tweak the heck out of things and get myself into more trouble).

In short, I ended up temporarily mounting the hda3 (Ubuntu) partition, copying 
the files over, editing and running lilo, and then rebooted into Ubuntu 
successfully.

Thanks all.  I'll work on having new problems shortly. :-)
