You have a disk partition problem. LILO, the boot loader, needs to be in the
first 8 megs of your hard drive.
When the installer asked you where you wanted to put the loader, did you
tell it in the MBR, or in the first Linux partition?
I always put it in the MBR.
Since you're doing a new install, I'd just start again.
