Lilo problem

[Albert Hurd <ahurd@home.com>]

I am trying to set up GAG, the multiboot package. It requires that I invoke
lilo to install a boot sector on the partition containing the Linux system
system to boot.  When I did this, the boot process terminated before
completion. The last two lines on the screen were:
VFS: Mounted root(msdos filesystem readonly)
Unable to open initial console

My lilo.conf was as follows:

#boot = /dev/hda
delay = 0
#compact
#vga = normal
root = /dev/hda1
#read-only
image = /vmlinuz
        label = 1.3.1

Any help much appreciated.
