At least, i'm booting from a reiser4 partition and completed my migration to it. The only problem i'm having is that i cannot run lilo from this partition. When i do it, lilo eats my cpu for about 10 minutes and then ends normally, without errors. But when rebooting i don't see anything but sixes in the screen... Weird, isn't it?
Here is my /etc/fstab:
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /var reiser4 defaults 0 2
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 / reiser4 defaults 0 1
/dev/hdb6 /home reiser4 defaults 0 1
/dev/hdb7 /home/martin/temp reiser4 defaults 0 1
/dev/hdc /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat defaults,user,noauto,rw,exec 0 0
/dev/hdb2 /mnt/d vfat defaults,user,noauto,rw,exec 0
I know my /etc/lilo.conf file is all right, because i'm using the same one from the original root partition (ext3).

The best thing would be if you fitted a very small boot partition in somewhere, formatted ext2 or something else really standard. This way you will never have to worry about lilo not being able to boot.
But that might only be relevant for grub when I think about it.
Have you tried the lilo confiugration tips here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reiser4FShowto

Thanks for replying!!
- I guess using a separated ext2 partition for /boot may help, maybe i'll try it.
- I'm using lilo instead of grub because grub doesn't natively support reiser4
- the lilo.conf listed in the wiki doesn't give anything new to the included one with lilo package. In fact, it is a very old configuration (devfs=nomount isn't needed anymore since long time)

There is a reiser4 patch for grub. Maybe you'll have better luck with that...

I did it!
The ext2 /boot partition made the trick. I'll fix the wiki.
