Are you sure the installer is installing LILO on the MBR? Perhaps it is
installing it on the boot sector of the root filesystem? In that case, you
will need to set that partition active.
NOTE: If that does not work, you will need a bootable diskette and a
partition table editor (FDISK) to return your Windows C: partition to active
status.

From LILO? You have a bad floppy. 0x10 means "CRC error".

Yah, Red Hat built a custom mount command, for whatever reason.
Syntax is "mount -t <fstype> <device> <mount_point>"
"fstype" should be "ext2".
"device" can either be a full path to a pre-existing device node, or just
the short device name, in which case Red Hat's mount will create a temporary
node to mount the filesystem.
Examples:
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt/tmp
mount -t msdos hda3 /mnt/win

Say you mount your HDD root filesystem on "/mnt/tmp". To run LILO for that
disk, use "lilo -r /mnt/tmp".
