I've really got it fixed this time. I changed the lilo.conf to point to /dev/sda10 and it booted - in fact, when it got part way through the process, it brought up a screen for me to finish the 8.0 installation. So now I just need to fix the rest of the lilo entries.

As for Otto's question - the installer is what screwed it up. I don't know why. But it had no entries in it at all when I started - the only thing in the file when I sent my first email about this was:

boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux

I had to manually add each stanza that related to specific kernels.

Thanks for everyone's help. I learned a lot this time around.

I have seen all of the advice and I am wondering why and how your
lilo.conf is screwed up if it was created by the install.  IMHO how can
that be the problem if the installer set it up.  Anyway you might try
the install-list archive apparently they have this problem all the time.
