Install lilo on new disk/new partition

[adavis@netpci.com]

Thank you for several answers to my request for information about copying an
entire filesystem.  After this all, I found a HOWTO on the subject, as well.  
I think I have succeeded in copying the filesystems off my old disk to my
new one.  The system boots ok off a floppy prepared as describe in the
HOWTO.  For various reasons, however, I changed the filesystem structure
on the disk.  Now I have to install lilo on the new disk.  

 When I formatted the partition, I had not set the bootable flag.  Now after
the fact, the copying, and everything, I discover this, and I ran fdisk,
changing this flag.  

However, lilo fails still, with a message, 

     First sector of /dev/hda1 doesn't have a valid boot signature
     
I found this message in the lilo manual, but I cannot see how to fix it.  I
ran liloconfig, which I hope was not a mistake.  I toggled the flag again.
No change to this message.

I am uncertain whether I have to run mbr now, or what.  Perhaps this is the
problem.  

Or what?  Can I ask for a clue, again?
