I am sorry I made mistake.
There should be:
it worked for two days but when it finished to work I tried:
boot=/dev/hda
It's a little bit better but still not enough well (see below).

I am sorry agian for my mistake.
When I put boot=/dev/hda3
and then the command lilo the following message appeared
boot=/dev/hda3
lilo
mel219:~# lilo
Warning: Int 0x13 function 8 and function 0x48 return different
head/sector geometries for BIOS drive 0x80

After rebooting the system
the following happens during booting process:
---
Verifying DMI Pool Data ...
After one day when I switch on the computer I saw the following:
Verifying DMI Pool Data....
Boot from CD:
MBR 3FA:
---
and computer hanged.
Then when I push enter the coloured LILO's menu appears and then
the booting process goes correctly.
Another strange thinks: when I try to load Linux from booting floppy
first the kernel is not loading. Instead 'boot:000000000....000...so on'
appears (the zeros after 3 lines finish to appear).
Then when I push enter the booting process goes correctly.
Any clue?
