I have had the exact problem before. It's a LILO issue. If you upgrade
to the latest version of LILO (22.3, I believe), it should fix the
problem.

Subject: Lilo, the woman that ruined my life.
Howdy. I have a old laptop (toshiba 420 CDT, p1-100, 40 MB, 20 GB, )
that I would like to
get working.
I however do not have a boot medium, so I have tried installing various
OS's on a hard
drive and then transplanting them into the laptop. Under Windows it will
not recognive the
hd as a valid system disk. Under linux I get the following:
"L 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40 40
40 40 40 40 40 40 40This BASIC was aborted,
because this machine has
no ROM BASIC.
Use Toshiba's BASIC"
I have played with lilo untilt the cows came home and started to mew
telling me to ask for
help.
