hi ya jake..
what is your partitions ?? * all of um * ???
typically i like to keep / at 64M or 128Mb range...
/ includes /boot
and other partitions are not as critical to installing and booting...
if your disk is say 20Gb or more... you might need to use "lba32"
in yur lilo config

Hi,
You could try this:
boot up with a dos or windows boot disk that has fdisk on it
run this:
fdisk /mbr
then reboot and start your install over or use a debian rescue disk
to boot into the system, and then re-run lilo.
HTH,
Mike
