Ah, that's the problem. If you're booting off the installer-created
boot floppy, odds are the kernel was too big to fit on the floppy, and
that's why it's failing. We really need to add a warning and/or check
to the "make boot floppy" option - or just disable it. It's tough to
fit XFS + scsi drivers on a boot floppy...
If you want to get in and muck around w/ your system to make it boot
from the hard drive, try booting into installer rescue mode with "linux
rescue" at the installer lilo prompt.
