Just to confirm, your system boots into a terminal by default, you
rebooted your computer and all text was displayed at the terminal
including the login prompt?
How about if you boot into single-user mode? (you should be able to do
this by entering "linux single" (without the quotation marks) at the lilo
prompt).
