You must intall lilo in the MBR.
start your linux instalation again. skip the begining and go straight to lilo section. when prompted where to install it choose MBR

Edit line in /etc/lilo.conf 'boot=/dev/fd0' to 'boot=/dev/hda' (assuming /dev/hda , master drive on primary ide controller, is your bootable drive.) Then run '/sbin/lilo' and make sure you get no errors. ('/sbin/lilo -v' will give more verbose feedback.) Have a lot of fun!
