that is why you get 99 99 from lilo 
 
boot=/dev/md0
root=/dev/md0

if you hate lilo problems ( L, LI, LIL, 99 77 ... ) than use grub,
syslinux, loadlin, nilo, ....
	- and all bootloaders have some problem or another

	- and all bootloaders work fine when it works

	- the trick is how long to fix the problem of that particular
	problem for that particular bootloader
