This is very strange and probably a lilo bug or setup problem. Since
I myself use grub for booting i386 systems, I haven't seen anything
like this, but I vaguely remember one of my users reporting the same
problem. It may have to do with the "compact" option in lilo.conf,
try and toggle it.

Gee, NetBSD/mac68k. My very first Un*x box was (and still is) a Mac
IIci with this.

It's a quote from a bande dessinée by Enki Bilal, namely Froid
Équateur. Judging from your email adress, you should be able to go
and see his latest film Immortel, which is vaguely based on that.
