You're running fdisk during the install - fdisk will report the partitions
with
/tmp instead of the usual /dev. This is normal - I've just checked one of my
machines.
I'm betting that your root partition is not within 1024 cylinders or that
your lilo.conf has "root=/dev/hda1" instead of "root=/dev/hda2" - did you
allow the installation to make a dual-boot machine?
