I think Serguei found it... You're output also tells me that lilo is
writing a boot record somewhere... Whatever device 0xc0 is. The easiest
way to tell where is to look at the disk activity lights when you run
lilo. Either the SCSI, IDE, or floppy should go briefly active when you
run lilo, that will tell you where the boot sector is being written. It
might also explain why your rescue disk stopped working...
I'll have to look at my lilo.conf when I get home. I see some things
that look different, but I'm not sure if they matter or not.
