Bob....I believe that the below /etc/lilo.conf is correct for
your machine, but you should check that each file specified in
it is actually where it is said to be and named correctly in the
/etc/lilo.conf file.
Is there a file /boot/map?
Is there a file /boot/boot.b?
Is there a file /boot/us.klt?
Is there a file /boot/bootmesg.txt?
Is there a file /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-24mdk_i486?
Is there a file /boot/initrd.img?
Then when you've put the below file in the /etc/ directory as
lilo.conf, and checked that all the specified files are actually
there with the specified names, as root, type in a console,
/sbin/lilo and then let's hear what happens.
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/bootmesg.txt
other=/dev/hda1
label=windows
table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-24mdk_i486
label=linux
root=/dev/hdb1
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append="mem=128M"
read-only
