You might also look over the errata for the installer (although I didn't
see anything quickly related to your problem---but it may be as simple
as booting the netinstall CD and booting the CD kernel as:
linux root=/dev/hda2 (IIRC this was your root - change as needed)
(or linux26 if using the 2.6 kernel)
(I have not played around a lot with the netinstall CD, but I know there
are places where you can get to a shell and mount your partition to see
what your lilo.conf looks like.)
Or use Knoppix or other CD runnable disks as rescue disk for a more
complete environment to troubleshoot.
