Hum, I've installed Debian on my laptop (same make/model as yours) a
couple of times and never had this problem. Is it LILO that won't
start? Will it even install on it?
I partitioned my disk as follows
hda1 HPFS/NTFS (hardly used, but there for work reasons)
hda2 Fat32 (To move files between win2k/Linux environment)
hda3 ext2 /boot
hda4 extended
had5 ext2 /
hda6 swap

Hum, haven't tried the floppy. Such outdated technology. ;)
