I hope this helps.
I had a similar problem once and this sequence if thing eventually fixed it
(it was on a SCSI system with an IDE drive and I was trying to boot from the
SCSI drive).
Make sure your BIOS is not trying to boot from the win2k drive first if
there is an option to set the boot device set it to look *only* at the drive
with LILO installed (later fiddle if you need to boot from CROM etc).(might
like to try with boot offboard chpsets first set as well I can't remember
if this worked or not)
You also must have LILO in the MBR and uninstall it from any other
partitions (lilo -u)
As an emergency fix you might be able to make a LILO bootdisk this will
probably ket you boot (I was using this for a long time until I fixed the
problem).
