I do not how it happened that way, but your problems is the line:
root=/dev/fd0
If you look in your /etc/lilo.conf, you should have a different root=
defined. This is the root directory on your hard drive. You should
also have the same directory defined in /etc/fstab. (The entry for the
/ directory.)
I am not sure where mkbootdisk is going wrong in your case. I need to
see /etc/fstab, and probably /etc/lilo.conf to tell for sure.
You can fix this disk with a couple of steps:
Change root=/dev/fd0 to point to your root directory.
Coppy the proper root device to the /dev directory on the
floppy. (cp -Pa /dev/hda5 /mnt/floppy/dev/hda5)
Use lilo to update the floppy. (lilo -r /mnt/floppy)
