I found the solution embedded in another report, by the way. Add the
following to your lilo.conf:
#http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=222099
disk=/dev/sda inaccessible
disk=/dev/sdb inaccessible
As near as I could figure from the response to the bug report, this is
not considered a bug so much as a "user education" issue. I find that
weird, since I never had to add those lines before ... *shrug*

I seem to remember woody's lilo being old enough to cause problems for
my system, but I can't recall why. Anyway, the above lilo.conf mods
fixed it for me.
