Ramdisk issue fixed - now it's a LILO problem

[Chris Vaughn <cvaughn@MATH.ORST.EDU>]

After installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.0, configuring and
rebooting the system, I get a stream of scrolling LI's

LI

and so on...

According to the LILO documentation this means that the second stage
boot loader is loaded but has failed to execute.  At first I thought
it might be an issue with a large disk, but my root partition is
<500MB and the first partition on the disk.

I have tried reinstalling/reconfiguring LILO with no success.
The system is a Compaq Proliant with a 2GB SCSI disk.

Can anyone provide me with more information on how to fix this
problem?

Thanks,
