Viola! Success. That was rather strange. After booting with the floppy, I went and executed lilo like you said (actually I went to bin rather than sbin, but it worked anyway), rebooted sans floppy, and it booted without hesitation. What did I miss? At the end of the install, where you were given a chance to boot with either hard drive or floppy, I chose HD both times - should I have chosen floppy first instead? Everything elses loaded without a hitch - now I have to find a way to transfer all them neat packages via floppy. Fun.
