I went back and reinstalled Debian and switched the partitions around. Now I get a different "error" but it doesn't accept any input and the only way to boot the system is with the boot floppy now. Originally the swap partition was first but named /hda2(?) and the Linux partition was /hda1 and the end. I went back and changed the partitions so that the Linux partition was first and called /hda1 and the swap partition was at the end. The 'message' I get is "LI" and that is it. I looked at my lilo.conf file and it is listed below: boot=/dev/hda install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map compact vga=normal delay=20 default=Linux image=/vmlinuz label=Linux root=/dev/hda1 read-only <<EOF>> I am not sure what I am doing that is keeping the box from booting from the hard drive.
