I am currently installing Redhat 5.2 on a 486DX2/33, everything has
installed fine - but when it tries to boot off the hardrive it hangs at
where the LILO: prompt should be at LI

If I boot off the install floppy and enter vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1
read-only at the boot: prompt, it boots off the hardrive fine.

Any reccomendations on how to fix this? It's only a 520mb drive (485
extended partition, and 32mb swap) so I doubt it suffers from the
too-many-cylenders problem.

The other thing is, this machine only has 10mb of physical RAM - but this
shouldn't be a problem?
