I install Slackware on small HDD with LILO, can't boot LILO?


I install LILO to the MBR of a small drive, and it just sits there print 99 to the screen. What is that?

If you'd tried searching these forums for lilo error 99 you'd find relevant threads like this one.

I'm sorry, but I searched for "lilo 99" and I got a whole lot of totally irrelevent stuff and didn't think there was a post about it.
