Well, what did you think you were doing? :)

|( /dev/hda1 ) with Win95 on it.
|To create swap I did following things:
|- mkswap ( 20 M on /dev/hda1 )
|- swapon /dev/hda1 ( OOOPPPS )

The "mkswap" is allready an "oops".  You just said you had one
partition, so were did you think you were writing?

|After it fs ( both msdos and umsdos )

|I can't boot, chkdsk, mount /dev/hda1
|neither from Win95 nor from Linux.
|LILO work works fine.
|IS THERE SOME WAY TO RESTORE THE FS???

I'm not a DOS expert (thank god :), but maybe booting from a diskette
and running a Norton Disk Doctor will manage to salvage something?
