well, freeldr.ini seems to be the right place,
Yes, that's the right place
but partition(4) gave me:
freeldr does not understand some features of this EXT2/EXT3 filesystem, please upgrade freeldr.
Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

will try partition(6) next time I reboot ...
I'd try partition(3). I think FreeLdr will skip the /dev/hda3 partition 'cause it doesn't recognize the filesystem on it. That would give the following partition assignments:
partition(1) /dev/hda1 partition(2) /dev/hda2 partition(3) /dev/hda4 partition(4) /dev/hda6
(skipping /dev/hda3 and /dev/hda5). This partition skipping thing is far from obvious, but I think it was put in for Windows compatibility reasons.
