I screwed up and installed lilo in root instead of hda1, so needless to say, all i got at reboot was 99 99 99 99 99 99 to infinity. Luckily, just as a precaution, i did creat a boot disk. So when installing to hdd, be cafeful when it comes to lilo install, and be sure to point it to hda1 instead of root. After i booted with floppy, i redid the lilo making sure it went to hda1, and it works great.
