install problems

[mikebw at colossus.bilow.com (Mike Bilow)]

There is no need for /boot to be a separate partition.  Unless you have a
special situation, /boot is usually an ordinary directory below the
partition mounted as the root filesystem (/).

The most likely problem here is that the "lilo" command was not run.
