Firstly simply "cp"ing one drive to another can cause problems.
Secondly what has making a bootdisk got to do with "lilo" in the context
that you describe.?.

Without seeing the technical details how on earth do you expect an answer.??

Its not a question of how your lilo.conf should look like, its a question of
"what" you want or are trying to do.!!!.

Then where are the error messages and where is your lilo configuration file,
without those how could one comment on what you "want" or are "trying" to
do.!!! You let us know with "examples" from error messages and your conf
file, and i for one will "try" to comment, other than that your out of luck,
unless someone on this list is a clearvouant.
My only responce is; lilo "could" have problems when trying to boot a kernel
on a drive other than /dev/hda or /dev/hdb.
I suggest you read /usr/doc/lilo*/README the exacht path differs from
distro to distro.
