LILO can't find your root filesystem. You've either configured LILO
wrong or specified the wrong partition at boot time.
You might want to try typing running something like:
linux root=/dev/hda1
...at the LILO prompt. If you're not given one by default, hold down
the shift, alt, or control keys, or set either capslock or scroll lock.
...typical root partitions are hda[1-9] for IDE drives or sda[1-9] for
SCSI.
This information is contained in /usr/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz.
FWIW, chances are if you've configured your root filesystem incorrectly
that you may not be able to locate your kernel or init as well. Try
fixing the root filesystem issue first, if you have additional problems,
read the LILO manual for more information.
