This is very strange and probably a lilo bug or setup problem.  Since
I myself use grub for booting i386 systems, I haven't seen anything
like this, but I vaguely remember one of my users reporting the same
problem.  It may have to do with the "compact" option in lilo.conf,
try and toggle it.

Gee, NetBSD/mac68k.  My very first Un*x box was (and still is) a Mac
IIci with this.

It's a quote from a bande dessin�e by Enki Bilal, namely Froid
�quateur.  Judging from your email adress, you should be able to go
and see his latest film Immortel, which is vaguely based on that.

Regards, Jens.
