that's interesting.

try looking at lilo.conf on the floppy (if it's on the floppy) don't
quite understand the booting from floppy business...floppy booting is
not my idea of progress.

what I was suggesting was to boot without floppy...since lilo is
installed in the mbr of the first hard drive, when it stops at startup
to pick linux or dos (if you do nothing or just hit return it boots
windows because the 'default = dos' setting), press control X before it
moves on and type 

linux bios=0x82
