Hi all,

I've installed Debian 2.2 on an old 486 yesterday (which caused some minor
problems). Everything turned out fine in the end, except the boot
process. It's a Linux-only system, I've partitioned the disk as follows:
/dev/hda1: /boot 5MB
/dev/hda5: swap 50MB
/dev/hda6: / the rest
Lilo is used for booting, I choose the second option in the installation
process (using the /boot partition). Also, the installation process
installed a new MBR. Now, when I reboot, I only see MBR repeated on my
screen several times, nothing else happens. I have to boot to Linux using
a boot disk, which takes an awfully long time ;-)

What could cause this?
