thats cos yer HDs have > 1024 cylinders. if yer read the installation docs, it
tells yer that LILO has probs with these kinda HDs. 
Solution:
1) yer can specify the number of cylinders(in CMOS) to be 1024(and lose a
couple of megs)
2) read the docs on the more complicated way.

me, I just use boot manager 8-)
