You mean you get the message directly after LILO (or BRUB or whatever you're using as bootmanager) is done? It would be helpful if you could pinpoint that a little more precisely.
"Bad magic" means that the identifying bytes at the beginning of some file are not what was expected, so the file is probably corrupt.
The problem was pretty simple but hard to recognize.
1) I cannot see the front of the PC tower
2) I use ext2 floppies and had one in the bay
3) Boot sequence is Floppy, CD-ROM, HDD
I was attempting to boot from a data disk.
However, I'm used to a different message...
