Andrej, This sounds a bit like the problem I had on my old Sparc where I installed on the external drive and specifying the boot device did not help until I changed something in the lilo.conf... My failing memory thinks it was something like "init=..." If you don't figure it out, I'll be home later and can fire up the ol' beast and give you more accurate info...
