This is a pretty common thing, Im sure theres a FAQ somewhere that
tells you how to get rid of it. What I'd do would be.

1) Reboot with floppy
2) edit /etc/lilo.conf   (doulbe check your settings)
3) run /sbin/lilo (or is it /usr/sbin/lilo)
4) run cfdisk and make sure your boot partition is set it 'active'
	(BOOTABLE)
5) Make sure your boot partition is in the first 1023 cylinders of the
	main hard drive (sounds like it is)
