However, it failed at the same spot I had a problem before, (search for "Make boot floppy failed").  It gives the same error messages and behavior.  Is there another way?  I can't boot directly from hard drive and Tom's rtbt is the difficult to use except for fdisk, (at least for a novice, like me).

A possibility is :

Boot with Tom's rtbt, then 

#mount /mnt /dev/hda2
#chroot /mnt
#lilo

This should rewrite the MBR.

Not sure whether I correctly understood your problem, though.
