So SILO from hd works, but SILO from cd doesn't? I can't think of anything that is different when booting from CD other than the first stage bootloader (which is pretty trivial).
The only thing could could possibly be the issue is something to do with initrd. Maybe some bug haas crept in, maybe it's a memory mapping issue particular to the III/IIIi's. Could be that SILO is writing the initrd over top of the kernel or writing the value into the wrong place in the kernel. Quick test of this would be to see if you could boot from CD with no initrd and mounting a hd for root.
