Disk boot failure after installation

Hi,
I've installed Slackware 11.0 on my brandnew pc with an Asus M2N-E Mainboard and an SATA Harddisk.
I installed Lilo in the superblock and entered sata.i as boot parameter.

When I restart my pc, the bios-message DISK BOOT FAILURE appears.

Can anybody help me?

Why did you install to the superblock? If installed to the MBR, you'll be able to boot more than just Slackware. And avoid that error message...

Yeah, that's it.
I installed to the superblock because the installer said MBR is possibly unsave.

I reinstalled and now I can boot from HD

Thanks a lot
