Hi. Installing Gentoo for the first time. Other Linux distros have installed
fine on this box (a modern x86 desktop). Gentoo stage3 CD install seems to
go smoothly, but it won't boot from hard disk or diskette. Says L 02 02 02
02... when booting from HD. Diskette outputs three rows of dots then:

8000
AX:0212
BX: 6A00
CX: 5001
DX: 0000

Partitions:

/dev/hda1  100MB boot
/dev/hda2  512MB swap
/dev/hda3  4GB root

Relevant parts of lilo.conf:

boot = /dev/hda

    image = /boot/bzImage
    root = /dev/hda1
    #root = /devices/discs/disc0/part3
    label = Gentoo
    read-only

I'm guessing I have LILO wrong. What should it be?

Did you include the 'lba32' flag near the top of lilo.conf? Without this, lilo can't boot kernel that resides past the 1024th cylinder of the disk.
