Delete the two lines marked above in your /etc/fstab file. This will get
rid of the referenves to the drive you removed.
Right now, lilo is trying to install to your floppy drive. Where you
want it to install is to /dev/hda1, your root partition. Don't forget to
run lilo after making the change in the config file.
