LILO should work. are you sure it's installed correctly? what version
are you using?

sometimes you have to add lines like this, per man lilo.conf

                     disk=/dev/sda
                          bios=0x80
                     disk=/dev/hda
                          bios=0x81

I like GRUB better, but I'm currently using lilo, at least I did back
when I compiled my xfs kernel 20 days ago :)

Linux doesn't have a problem booting off secondary IDE
controllers/channels like M$ does.
