Make sure your BIOS supports booting from a SCSI HD.  In my case, I can 
select either IDE *or* SCSI for boot up...however lilo needs to be on the 
IDE or it doesn't work.  [sigh]

When I select to boot from SCSI and put lilo on the SCSI it hangs with 
"LI".  When I select IDE and put lilo on the IDE it works woderfully.
