This is a LILO error covered in /usr/share/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz:
LIL The second stage boot loader has been started, but it can't
load the descriptor table from the map file. This is typically
caused by a media failure or by a geometry mismatch.
Doublecheck your partitioning. If you can run a media check, do so.
Rerun lilo.

That's pretty lightweight but should provide basic console access and/or
firewall duties.
