I boot from my HD, but I make boot floppies when I install a new kernel.
My boot floppies DO work, and my /etc/lilo.conf looks like this:
prompt
boot=/dev/hda1
root=/dev/hda1
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=ext
delay=20
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
read-only
Here's yours:

Try changing the line "boot=/dev/fd0" to "boot=/dev/hdb3" in your lilo.conf
I believe this may work, as long as your /dev/hdb3 partition is not beyond
your BIOS and/or LILO limitations.
