I had the same problem. Edit /etc/lilo.conf and comment out the
"compact" line. BTW this is a bug. How do I report a bug? Lilo.conf
should have compact off by default. The documentation clearly states
that compact does not work on all computers.

Edit that compact line and a buch of things should go away

when you specify the io address on the command line, do you remember
to use 0x to indicate hex.

If it works then don't worry about it :-)

No problem. Please excuse mine, however I am a native anglophone
Just as a note, I would specify atleast a 12MB swap partition. My 386
only had 4MB ram + 8 MB swap and I ran into problems when running
dselect. My swap file was full as was my ram and ld.so could not load
some libc stuff.
It now has 8MB ram and I haven't had any problems to date.
