Andreas,
You can get rid of the error message, and have LILO work right by
adding bios=0x80 after the disk = /dev/sda? of of your Linux section.
This is covered in the LILO README file.
Another common use of disk sections is if an (E)IDE and a SCSI drive are
used in the same system and the BIOS is configured to use the SCSI drive
as the first drive. (Normally, the (E)IDE drive would be the first drive and
the SCSI drive would be the second one.) Since LILO doesn't know how the
BIOS is configured, it needs to be told explicitly about this arrangement.
