Close.

I would do a test boot off a floppy with the installation disk before you
make any changes.  If it works, *then* you:

 * edit fstab
 * edit lilo.conf
 * run lilo
 * make the hardware change

I have them here:

http://tux.creighton.edu/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/idepci

You also may want to try the

..../udma66 floppies as well.
