You shouldn't get this from the official Debian CD, or from a CD that
didn't do this on another drive.

Are there any errors at the end of the output of dmesg after this
happens?  I sometimes get "CDU31A: Read error: 0x40" but my drive (not
an IDE one) recovers.

When LILO starts up, hold down SHIFT or another key like that if it
doesn't wait for you to type something.  Then at the "LILO boot:"
prompt, type "linux hdd=cdrom" (or something similar).  If it works,
add it to /etc/lilo.conf as `append="hdd=cdrom"' and rerun lilo.
