HD Install :: tried to move home to other partition, can't boot

Do you mean putting "linux home=hda6" in at the lilo prompt? Because that didn't work. nor did "linux HOME=/dev/hda6" . The partition still isn't being mounted at boot.

I have assumed that you did a frugal install with a grub boot install. If I am right then the following applies, if not, let me know.

I must have not be too clear. When dsl boots you will see all of the options listed. If you don't do anything, dsl will boot after 15 seconds. When that screen first comes up, press the "e" key. This should bring you to the edit window where you can use the cursor key to move along the line to change/add entries. If you still cannot edit the line, press "e" again. Move along that line and add the "home=hda6" into the line. Press "enter" to return to the boot menu and then press "b" to boot.

When the boot menu first comes up is there a selection for Windows?

This should allow you to boot up with dsl finding your home dir on hda6.

I did a regular HD install, not frugal, and I installed lilo, not grub.
