Listen to this:
the boot floppy is not needed.
After you have installed both your OSs boot from the Linux cd 1.
As soon as it comes to the point where you have to choose from expert
mode or lowres or text etc .. --this is right at the beginnig--
type : vmlinuz root=/dev/<your root_partition_number_here> eg hdb1
This will boot the vmlinuz kernel with root filesystem the one you
will specify.
Some things might not work, or strange error messages might appear.
Don't be worried.
As soon as you can login (login in console not in the X), login as
root.
Check that the file /etc/lilo.conf meets your disk configuration and
if it does type /sbin/lilo.
this will rewrite lilo in the MBR.
then if everything goes fine and no lilo error occured, type init 6
and you're ok!!!!


Hope i helped, let us know what happened.
Regards Chris.
