LILO on a Toshiba Tecra 500CDT gives an error

[bbolli@ymail.ch (Beat Bolli)]

Hi all

I'm trying to install Woody on this laptop. It has a floppy drive xor a
CD-ROM drive; the two can't be used at the same time.

So I started with Toms Root and Boot disk (http://www.toms.net/rb), used it
to partition and format the hard disk and to wget the base2_2.tgz from my
server. I get to the point where base2_2.tgz is unpacked, lilo.conf is 
set up just right and everything is ready to run lilo.

But lilo says:
--- snip ---
/# lilo -r /mnt -v
LILO Version 20, Copyright 1992-1997 Werner Almesberger

Reading boot sector from current root.
Can't put the boot sector on logical partition 0x306
/# _
--- snap ---

The file systems are mounted as follows:

/dev/hda6 on /mnt type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda7 on /mnt/home type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /mnt/boot type ext2 (rw)

/dev/hda5 is the swap partition.

lilo.conf has:
--- snip ---
lba32
boot=/dev/hda1
root=/dev/hda6
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
prompt
timeout=20
vga=2
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
	label=Linux
	read-only
image=/vmlinuz.old
	label=LinuxOLD
	read-only
	optional
--- snap ---

I just don't get it. LILO shouldn't try to put the boot sector on /dev/hda6,
but on /dev/hda1??

Any help is appreciated.
