second stage boot is boot.b
Looks like lilo can't load boot.b
Do you have "linear" option enabled in lilo.conf
"Linear" allows lilo to use LBA (logical Block Addressing) to get to the
second stage boot. Without it you are stuck with the old BIOS < 1024
Cylinder problem
Where is the boot partition, is the whole /boot partition below 8Gig LBA
limit.
Load the rescue environment, do a chroot, do a mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0
blahblah to get yourself out of trouble.
