from the lilo documentation (actually taken from v0.20)
LI The first stage boot loader was able to load the second stage boot
loader, but has failed to execute it. This can either be caused by a
geometry mismatch or by moving /boot/boot.b without running the map
installer.
since you're using big disks I would suspect your lilo.conf is out of
whack. I believe I fixed this when I first went to big disks by using the
linear flag.
Use the root/rescue floppy you created (you did create one?) and boot your
system. then check the manual pages for 'lilo' and 'lilo.conf'.
