The problem is when "LI" is displayed and "LO" isn't, is when
LI (which the master boot record BIOS loaded) cannot load
it's 2nd part LO (with a BIOS disk read call).
When SCSI and IDE discs are used together, sometimes /sbin/lilo gets
the BIOS disk IDs wrong, and writes a boot record with the wrong
parameters, so that when the "LI" boot record tries to load
the "LO" part, it issues a BIOS call with the wrong disc ID
(cause when /sbin/lilo ran, it thought /dev/sda is 0x81, not 0x80)
and hangs.
Read 'man lilo' and follow the example for the 'disk' parameter.
