Allen,

If your install was RH you might try doing an upgrade.  What the upgrade
option will do for you is let you get to fdisk to fix any problems like
partition type settings.  The next thing is to select NO packages in the
build and do not allow a format.  The install will then thrash around a
bit and in the process correctly reinstall lilo with new settings.  I
had the same basic problem once and this worked for me.  As many have
found out the hard way is that Bill and his boys managed to work things
out that if you don't install Windows 1st your multi-boot setup gets
screwed.
