If you browse the location mentioned earlier in this same bug
report by Marcel, you will see the diskettes that I am using for
the installs.
Regarding your instructions above, that is the only way that I
was able to get into my machine.
The problem, however, is fixed. Changing 'compact' to 'linear'
in /etc/lilo.conf solved the problem.
