Thanks for the pointer! However, it still doesn't work. This may be a
clue:

fdisk /dev/hdb prints this:

   Device Boot   Begin    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdb1   ?        1        1     8128  4096480+   7  OS/2 HPFS
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(507, 255, 63) should be (507, 15, 63)
/dev/hdb2         7677     8129    10544  1217664   83  Linux native
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary:
     phys=(658, 255, 63) should be (658, 15, 63)

This is an 8.4GB drive.  Could it have something to do with LILO's
1024-cylinder limit? Is there a way to not use LILO?

Is LILO being fixed to use larger disks?

What else could it be?
