That looks like it is trying to mount / as msdos, which, although
possible, is very unlikely to be what you wanted...

Hangon. If you have lilo on hdb2, what are you using the floppy for?
You need to use either loadlin or lilo, but not both. If you have lilo
installed, you should be booting from the harddrive and not from the
floppy drive.
Your problem is that hdb2 starts with lilo, then has the ext2 filesystem.
So when your linux install tries to mount it, it is getting confused by
the lilo install.
