I'm having the same problem, I can boot up with a floppy and use 
mount root=/dev/hda1 at the LILO prompt but I can't see to get LILO to
boot past LI from my hard drive ( a 540mb Quantum ). I've installed LILO
on the MBR and flagged the disk as bootable from linux fdisk, I'm useing
the slakware professional distribution from last months Personal Computer
World mag. Any ideas or pointers to more information would be appreciated.

Thanks

Paul
