Kernel boots from floppy, not from hard drive

[Albert Kinderman <albert.kinderman@csun.edu>]

I dual boot, using another boot manager to get to lilo on my
debian partition.

Everything worked fine until two days ago, when I made a new
kernel using make-kpkg.  I used dpkg to install the resulting .deb
and created a boot floppy as part of the installation.  I also
stupidly tried to clean up some cruft from old kernels that was
lying around in /boot  (LESSON: do not make two changes at one
time).  Now I can boot from the boot floppy, but the boot from the
hard disk dies after

LILO  loading <label from lilo.conf> ......
s

I tried to mount the boot floppy to see what it had that wasn't in
/boot, but mount kept giving me wrong fs or bad superblock errors.

What should I try next?
